Nephi declares that he might "err" (1 Nephi 19:6) in writing his history. . . . Brant Gardner asks, What errors might be in the text? For one thing, a lack of completeness. Nephi's concern over spiritual matters clearly (and explicitly) overrode his more historical concerns. . . . What else might be in error? Because of Nephi's powerful spiritual experiences, it is unlikely that any of the information Nephi attempts to communicate might be in error. However, it is possible that some of the words he uses might be less than ideal (particularly for an English audience who receive the text in our language and not in the language Nephi used on the plates).
