In 2020, the Maxwell Institute at Brigham Young University published a twelve-volume series of short books written by a diverse set of scholars taking a fresh look at our foundational text. On July 13, two of those authors, Dr. Sharon Harris and Dr. Kimberly Matheson, will participate in a panel discussion on their volumes (Enos/Jarom/Omni and Helaman, respectively), with a question and answer period to follow. The panel will be moderated by our own Dr. Deidre Green, also an author in the series (Jacob).
Come to the Berkeley Chapel in California, or watch the live stream event here.
