A groundbreaking look at the relationship between two sacred texts The Book of Mormon’s narrative privileges Isaiah over other sources, provocatively interpreting and at times inventively reworking the biblical text. Joseph M. Spencer sees within the Book of Mormon a programmatic investigation regarding the meaning and relevance of the Book of Isaiah in a world increasingly removed from the context of the times that produced it. Working from t...

Few scholars of the Book of Mormon have read this volume of scripture as closely and rigorously as Joseph M. Spencer. And of those, none have devoted as much time and effort as he to a theological reading of that sacred text-that is, as Spencer writes, "how it might shape responsible thinking about questions pertaining to the life of religious commitment" (p. 1:173). The Anatomy of Book of Mormon Theology divides into two volumes exploring a...

Spencer provides an outline of a Mormon theology of hope, drawing on the writings of Saint Paul, the Book of Mormon, the Book of Job, and the Doctrine and Covenants, and explores the inseparability of hope in contemporary Mormonism from the law of consecration and stewardship.

How should we read the Book of Mormon? And does the Book of Mormon itself have anything to say about it? Joseph Spencer follows the lead of Nephite prophets who interpreted Isaiah and other prophets typologically (according to types and shadows) in order to preach salvation through Jesus Christ. By focusing on history, memory, time, repentance, and conversion, this book explores what it means to believe God provided the Book of Mormon to chang...

Presented as a series of down-to-earth lectures, The Vision of All outlines a comprehensive answer to the question of why Nephi was interested in Isaiah. Along the way, the book presents both a general approach to reading Isaiah in the Book of Mormon and a set of specific tactics for making sense of Isaiah's writings.
