It is one of the best examples of any ancient author succeeding in placing the most important concept at the central or turning point of his passage. … For the central turning point of his conversion came precisely when he called upon the name of Jesus Christ and asked for mercy. Nothing was more important than this in Alma’s conversion. … He makes it the center of this magnificent composition” (Welch, “Masterpiece,” 118).
