Come to the Annual Symposium in Latter-day Saint Theology, hosted by the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship, the Laura F. Willes Center for Book of Mormon Studies, and Latter-day Saint Theology Seminar.
This year, the speakers will be discussing The Demands of Justice: Reading Alma 34.
In his pivotal contribution to the development of atonement theory in the Book of Mormon, Amulek claims that, because of Christ's atoning sacrifice, "mercy can satisfy the demands of justice." What does justice demand? How can mercy satisfy those demands? And how does Christ's atoning sacrifice empower mercy?
