“Alma was a model of a perceptive father who is trying to counsel with and bless his son, and, through the inspiration available to all parents, he began to zero in on Corianton’s real issue—a profound doctrinal question. Why was Corianton ‘worried concerning the resurrection of the dead’? Because if a person claimed that there is no life after this one and no resurrection to live forever, that reasoning could be used to further justify sinning: Live it up here in mortality; go after whatever your body wants here in this life because there’s nothing afterwards. It was important for Alma to resolve his son’s doubt” (Ogden and Skinner, Book of Mormon, 2:34–35).
