Signs Enough

Over two thousand years ago, two men faced each other in a philosophical and religious debate over the existence of God. While iterations of this same discussion have been held since the beginning of time between men of God and unbelievers, this particular conversation was recorded for our day — engraved onto golden plates and regarded as holy writ.

Why is this debate available to us in modern scripture? What are we to learn from the words of Alma and Korihor, and how can they benefit us today? The arguments set forth by Korihor all those years ago are echoed by modern atheists and critics of organized religion. Fortunately, Alma's response is as valid today as it was when he uttered it over two millennia ago.

Dr. Lyman shares with the reader an analysis of the arguments of both Alma and Korihor, relating each to the words of modern prophets and critics alike. He discusses how Alma appeals to science, prophets, and scripture to support his position. Through a greater understanding of this ancient prophet's words, we can gain both knowledge and confidence.
