“For about three hundred years, the religious writings of the Nephites centered on Alma and his descendants—his son Alma, his grandson Helaman, his great-grandson Helaman, his second-great-grandson Nephi, and his third-great-grandson Nephi, a disciple of the resurrected Lord. Because Alma hearkened to the words of Abinadi, Alma was able to impact for good the religious course of the Nephites for more than three hundred years” (Black, 400 Questions and Answers,141).
