The Things Which My Father Saw: Approaches to Lehi's Dream and Nephi's Vision

A dark and dreary waste, a man in a shining robe, a rod of iron, and a tree of life these symbols evoke powerful images in our minds and deepen our appreciation for the Book of Mormon. The 2011 Sperry Symposium volume explores the rich symbolism of Lehi s dream and Nephi s vision, placing such symbols as the mists of darkness, the great and spacious building, and the church of the Lamb of God in the context of the last days. By introducing profound, new perspectives to a familiar account, this volume offers Latter-day Saints a stirring reminder of the meaning and implications of Lehi s dream and Nephi s vision.
