Alma 30-63

"Now is the time and the day of your salvation . . ."

Alma the Younger is forever changed by an overwhelming personal experience with God s mercy a mercy capable of overpowering justice and giving Alma the means to exercise faith unto repentance. Driven by his new desire to share the joy that God s mercy brings, Alma confronts the apostate Korihor, preaches a sermon on faith to the Zoramite outcasts, and encourages and consoles his sons. His ministry cannot be understood apart from the miraculous transformation initiated and powered by God s mercy.

In this brief introduction to the second half of the book of Alma, philosopher Mark Wrathall painstakingly works out the logic of Alma s understanding of faith, justice, mercy, and the final judgment and restoration of all things, encouraging readers to receive salvation today.
