“Alma Declare the Word of God in the Valley of Gideon”

Brant Gardner

Mormon leaves this brief chapter with the declaration of Alma’s purpose in preaching in Gideon.

Text: This is the end of a chapter in the 1830 edition. It is an atypically short chapter, a transition between two sermons. Mormon’s emphasis is not history, but doctrine. Thus, he records only the history essential to understand the context of the next sermon.
