Nephite secret combinations

Post by John Locke »

Does anyone have a concise road map of the Nephite's/lamanites secret combinations and it leading to the Nephite destruction? With like references etc? If someone knows of one or has one it would save me from just repeating work i'm sure has already been done...thanks in advance.

Ether 8: 20-21
20And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that they are had aamong all people, and they are had among the Lamanites.

21And they have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking, and also the destruction of the people of Nephi.

John: Its been a lot of years since reading this but Hugh Nibley did a great job in one of his papers. It really pleased me to see Dr Nibley deal with this issue of SCs when so many other writers seemed to skirt these parts of the BofM. Hope that helps?

John: I have several of Nibley's books which are really selections from his writings. I beleive there is a Nibley group on the internet. I would contact them. I will try to find the article. OH, just rememebred, it is likely in Nibley's book "An Approach to the Book of Mormon."
