“[The] antichrist Sherem (Jacob 7) may have been an outsider. Jacob wrote of him, ‘there came a man among the people of Nephi’ (Jacob 7:1). Does this mean that he was not a Nephite? Jacob further notes ‘that he had a perfect knowledge of the language of the people’ (Jacob 7:4). Don’t all native speakers? This would have been remarkable only if the man were not a Nephite” (Tvedtnes, “Review of ‘New Approaches,’” 28).
