Reading the Book of Mormon Through the Lens of Social Justice

Fatimah Salleh and Margaret Olsen Hemming have published two volumes of a three volume series reading the Book of Mormon as a social justice commentary. The books empower readers to understand the text as a book that speaks to issues of racism, sexism, immigration, refugees, and socioeconomic inequality. This conversation with the authors will offer an unflinching examination of some of the difficult and troubling sections of the Book of Mormon, while also advocating for a compassionate reading of holy text.
