Do you want to dive deeper into what we can learn about teaching and learning from Nephi’s vision? Here’s an article I wrote in the Religious Educator: “‘Look! And I Looked’: Lessons in Learning and Teaching from Nephi’s Vision”
As we discussed in the video, 1 Nephi 14 starts to bleed into the Book of Revelation. My favorite book about the Book of Revelation is “Revelation and the End of All Things,” by Craig R. Koester.
