During 1988, 1989, and 1990, Hugh Nibley taught Honors Book of Mormon classes for four semesters at Brigham Young University. The lectures were video-taped and audio cassettes and printed transcripts were made of the lectures. We believe these recordings will be interesting to listen to and valuable to your Come, Follow Me study program this year. Each week, we will include the lectures covering the Book of Mormon chapters being studied that week.
This week, we have lecture 22, “2 Nephi 29—31, Scripture and Canon” and lecture 23, “Book of Mormon—2 Nephi 32—33 and Jacob 1—2.”
All 112 lectures are immediately available in PDF, audio, video, and electronic formats, as well as in paperback books that are available for purchase. Links for all of the available online sources can be found in the Complete Bibliography for Hugh Nibley at https://dev.interpreterfoundation.org/bibliographies/hugh-w-nibley/lectures/.
Lecture 22: Book of Mormon—2 Nephi 29—31, Scripture and Canon.
We are on 2 Nephi 29. The Lord is talking about when He sets His hand again in these last days the second time to recover His people. There are no “God’s privileged people.“ He loves one as much as the other.

Lecture 23: Book of Mormon—Book of Mormon—2 Nephi 32—33 and Jacob 1—2.
Also called “Rejecting the Word of God.“
We are on 2 Nephi 32, and are things going downhill fast. Here’s the first generation that has already gone bad, and Nephi is just terribly depressed. He ends on a down note, and then his brother Jacob takes it up.
