Charity as an Exegetical Principle in the Book of Mormon
Manage episode 376370095 series 3417969
Charity is more than a Christlike virtue we show towards others. It is a virtue we should employ in reading the scriptures as well. In his article "Charity as an Exegetical Principle in The Book of Mormon," Matthew Scott Stenson explains that when we read the scriptures with an open mind, real intent, and the love of God in our hearts, we are reading with charity as we are slow to judge and critique. He teaches us that while we need to be cautious of our own fallacies, we can learn to find more joy and receive unique revelation in the scriptures if we interpret with the Spirit of God.
