This is a fairly good series of commentary for the begining Book of Mormon Reader. These books provide a good basis to start from. Having sat at the feet of these two great scholars, I was a little dissappointed in the depth of their commentary. However they are both reliable sources.

McConkie and Millet have done a superb job of putting together a verse-by-verse description of the book of the Book of Mormon. This is a must for any serious person wanting to better comprehend the scriptures!

3.0 out of 5 stars A good try but..., June 13, 2002

This review is from: Doctrinal Commentary on the Book of Mormon, Vol. 3 (Hardcover)

Bro. McConkie tried to glean current church doctrine from the B. of M. but in my opinion he missed the point. I give five stars for the verses he quoted from the B of M and zero stars for the commentary which comes to three overall. Our people do not need another so-called "commentary" by an "expert" to understand this most simple of books. Read it, the B of M that is, and you cannot help but be overwhelmed by the message.
