RT Article T1 The Book of Mormon's Message on Brotherhood JF Journal of Book of Mormon studies VO 4 IS 1 SP 239 OP 245 A1 Sperry, Sidney B. 1895-1977 LA English YR 1995 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1764090837 AB The Book of Mormon exhibits the intimate relationship between God and his people. The brother of Jared's experience is a fine example. The driving force of the prophets was moral and religious, rather than economic and political. Social injustice was condemned by Nephi, Jacob, Alma, and Captain Moroni. Although little is said about the status of the family, respect for women and family affection are standard. Workers were well treated and friendship was promoted between Nephites and Lamanites. The Book of Mormon displays a high caliber of personal religion and brother hood.
