Questions
[edit]
Verse 41
- What is meant here by throughout the land? Does this just refer to the Land of Zarahemla, or all of the cities and villages inhabited by the Nephites (v.44)?
- How does this reorganization of the Nephite polity represent a true change between how the various cities and villages are governed in relation to each other?
[edit]
Verse 42
- Does this tell us that Alma held two offices or that the office of chief judge and that of high priest were the same, as for example in the United States the President and the Commander in Chief of the Armed Services aren’t two different offices? What is the relationship between the organization of the political and religious leadership in Nephite society at this time?
[edit]
Verse 42
- Alma judged righteously and there was peace throughout the land. Is that a cause and effect relation? If so, how so?
[edit]
Verse 47
- What does it mean for Alma to be the "founder" of their church?
