Approaching the Tree: Interpreting 1 Nephi 8 (2023)
Approaching the Tree: Interpreting 1 Nephi 8 is an invitation to view again one of the Book of Mormon's best-known texts. From the fresh interactions of an array of artists and scholars, the theological significance of Lehi's dream emerges anew. Together these able guides show, once more, both book and dream to be rich and deep, and worthy of repeated reflection.

Brief Theological Introductions to the Book of Mormon Series (2020)
The Book of Mormon: brief theological introductions series seeks Christ in scripture by combining intellectual rigor and the disciple’s yearning for holiness. It answers Elder Neal A. Maxwell’s call to explore the book’s “divine architecture”: “There is so much more in the Book of Mormon than we have yet discovered. The book’s divine architecture and rich furnishings will increasingly unfold to our view, further qualifying it as ‘a marvelous work and a wonder.´” (Isaiah 29:14)
