Title Were the Ammonites Pacifists? Author(s) Duane Boyce Reference Journal of the Book of Mormon and Other Restoration Scripture 18/1 (2009): 32–47. ISSN 1948-7487 (print), 2167-7565 (online) Abstract One of the most moving accounts in the Book of Mormon is of the people of Ammon, their covenant to bury and never use again their weapons of war, their faith to sacrifice themselves instead of fighting back against their Lamanite brethren, and their sacri- fice to send their children to war to aid the Nephites. Some interpret the stance that the Ammonites took against war to be pacifist. Some indications point toward this conclusion: their burying their weapons, covenanting never to fight again, allowing them- selves to be slaughtered twice, and being motivated in these actions out of love for their Lamanite kin. However, when the text is read more carefully, it can easily be seen that further actions would not neces- sarily have reflected a pacifist view toward war: not objecting to the Nephite war in their defense, pro- viding Nephite soldiers with food and supplies, and sending their own sons into battle would surely indi- cate that their personal opposition to war stemmed from the covenants they made during repentance.

Each bar on the chart represents an individual record keeper’s life. Although the Book of Mormon does not give the date of Nephi’s death, it makes good sense to assume that he was approximately seventy-five years old when he died. Source John W.

ISSN 1065-9366 (print), 2168-3158 (online) Abstract In Alma 21 a new group of troublemakers is intro- duced—the Amalekites—without explanation or introduction. This article offers arguments that this is the same group called Amlicites elsewhere and that the confusion is caused by Oliver Cowdery’s incon- sistency in spelling. If this theory is accurate, then Alma structured his narrative record more tightly and carefully than previously realized. The concept also challenges the simplicity of the good Nephite/bad Lamanite rubric so often used to describe the players in the book of Mormon.

  • Aaron and a Certain Number of His Brethren Were Taken and Cast Into Prison
    Why Did Mormon Include Flashbacks in His Narrative? The Know While journeying “from the land of Gide- on southward, away to the land of Manti,” Alma was astonished to be reunited with the sons of Mosiah, who were journeying “towards the land of Zarahemla” (Alma 17:1). After reaffirming that the sons of Mosiah had remained true to the faith since their conversion (vv. 2–4), Mormon’s narrative spans the next ten chapters in recounting their experiences through a flashback sequence (Alma 17:5–27:15). KnoWhy #129 What was especially remarkable is that June 24, 2016 Alma 17–27 actually contains a flashback within a flashback—or what Grant Har- dy calls “a subsidiary flashback” (Alma “Mormon” by James Fullmer Aaron and a certain number of his brethren were taken and cast into prison.
