S3 E6 Noel Reynolds on Nephi's Theme of Asking and Receiving Direction (1 Ne 6-10, 2nd episode)

We mention an article by Noel that can be found at https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/byusq/vol20/iss2/2/

We also mention an article by Daniel Belnap that can be found at https://rsc.byu.edu/things-which-my-father-saw/even-our-father-lehi-saw-lehis-dream-nephite-cultural-narrative

They also talk about a book by Jack Welch on charting the Book of Mormon found here https://rsc.byu.edu/things-which-my-father-saw/even-our-father-lehi-saw-lehis-dream-nephite-cultural-narrative

Kerry and Noel discuss how the things found in Lehi's dream serve as a foundation for so many things that will be found elsewhere in Nephi's writing and also in the entire Book of Mormon. They especially discuss the theme of all of Nephi's writings, as explained in 1 Nephi 10:17-19, and emphasize how Nephi keeps illustrating the point of how one can seek to learn God's will or not, and how that affects everything else. They show how understanding this theme helps us understand everything else in the Book of Mormon.
