The discussion begins with the significance of resurrection as introduced in Alma chapter 40, which frames the concept of restoration within God's plan. Resurrection serves as a fundamental model for understanding restoration; it signifies the transformation from corruption to incorruption and the repair of broken entities to their intended perfection. Alma emphasizes that in resurrection, the soul is restored to the body and vice versa, ensuring that every part, down to the smallest detail, is returned to its rightful state. This foundational idea illustrates that restoration involves actively returning things to their proper and perfect condition rather than merely preventing deterioration. As the conversation shifts to justice, it is essential to view those discussions through the lens of resurrection, ensuring clarity on the overarching purpose of God's work in restoring all things to their original glory.
How does the Book of Mormon change the reader? Dr. Adam Miller focuses on how the Book of Mormon teaches the reader about God and enables us to participate in the redemption that the book describes, as Alma teaches his son, Corianton.
