New book from Maxwell Institute! Available now at Amazon. Approaching the Tree: Interpreting 1 Nephi 8 is a collection of new scholarly, theological, and artistic considerations of these scriptures. It is an invitation to view again one of the Book of Mormon’s best-known texts.

Together these able guides show, once more, both book and dream to be rich and deep, and worthy of repeated reflection.
