Changing names often symbolizes a spiritual or personal transformation, such as in marriage or religious conversion. By taking on new names, like becoming a Christian or a disciple of Christ, people embrace a new identity and shed their old selves. This shift towards a higher unifying identity is powerful and significant in forming a strong sense of belonging and purpose.
Can people change? Professor Lori Denning brings to life the story of the Anti-Nephi-Lehis through understanding the power of poetry, covenant, and conversion to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
