Notes
Licensed in 2012 for use as album artwork for a Christian rock band. Artist Statement: "This is from the story of Alma the Younger, the guilt-ridden son of his nation’s High Priest who was convicted by his conscience of some dreadful crimes. The arm in the foreground represents the arms of Jesus which are wide open to receive and grant forgiveness and peace to all who seek him. The experience reformed Alma, who later became his nation’s High Priest and Chief Judge, spending the rest of his life trying to overcome the damage done in his troubled youth.The story is in Alma 36:3-25."
