The chapter delves into the discovery and analysis of chiasmus in Alma 36 and Alma 41, reflecting on the impact of landmark publications such as the BYU studies and articles aimed at youth. It dissects the structural elements and content of Alma 36, emphasizing the themes of listening to God's word, keeping commandments, and remembering ancestral experiences. Additionally, the narrative structure of Alma's story, his transformation, and the importance of missionary work and personal conversion through faith in Jesus Christ are explored.

How does discovering Hebraisms in the Book of Mormon strengthen your testimony? Professor John “Jack'' Welch explores how the discovery of Hebraic poetry increases testimony of the power of Jesus Christ and His Atonement.
