This week, we have lectures 23 and 24 from Hugh Nibley’s Book of Mormon classes at Brigham Young University, covering 2 Nephi 32 through Jacob 2, and Jacob 3—4, respectively.
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.
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 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.

Lecture 24: Book of Mormon—Jacob 3—4, Filthiness and the Atonement.
We’re on the book of Jacob. I’ve decided that more than any book in the Book of Mormon this has the ring of absolute truth, historical and everything else.
