This book makes public the results of a project sponsored by the Mormon Theology Seminar. The question driving the papers collected in this volume is the following: How does the Book of Mormon prophet Nephi read, rework, and repurpose the writings of the biblical prophet Isaiah? Each essay in this volume addresses an aspect of the complex relationship between Nephi and Isaiah, ranging from the question of what is at stake when one prophet retools the work of another to the question of how Nephi uses the words of Isaiah to outline the significance of the sealed gold plates to which he contributed. Opening the question concerning the relationship between the Bible and the Book of Mormon, this volume extends an invitation to each reader to continue the conversation.

Patrick Wallace, a cello player in the school orchestra, stayed too late in the gym one afternoon practicing for the Christmas program. When he left to go home, he discovered he had missed the school bus! As he tried to lug his cello down the sidewalk, it began to snow. Though he had been taught never to accept a ride from a stranger, the temptation was too great, and he found himself in deep trouble at Christmas time. This is the story he told to his worried neighbors. The author was one of those neighbors who lived in Provo in 1944.
