“And They Did Reject All His Words”

Brant Gardner

Redaction: Mormon underscores the rejection of Nephi’s gospel message in the land northward, another narrative detail by which he continues his focus on the land northward as a place hostile to the gospel. This association of the land northward and disbelief becomes most important to Mormon when he describes the events of his own time.
