An Unconventional Inquiry: What Does the Book of Mormon Say About Inequality Series

What Does the Book of Mormon Say about Inequality Series

The Book of Mormon contains some surprising insights concerning economic inequality. This series explores several topics addressed by the LDS scripture and its insights for today.

As there is a lot of content to address in the Book of Mormon, this is an incredibly long series. To make it easier to read I have divided the series into several chapters which are in bold below. Each chapter then has several short posts with their own inter-connected topics.

Items without hyperlinks are still in draft and concept form. If you have any thoughts on what should be included in this series then let me know.

Enjoy!
