This week for Come, Follow Me lesson 46 covering Ether 1-5, we have lectures 109 and 111 from Hugh Nibley’s Book of Mormon classes at Brigham Young University, covering Ether 1-2 and Ether 2-8, respectively.
During 1988, 1989, and 1990, Hugh Nibley taught Honors Book of Mormon classes for four semesters at Brigham Young University. The lectures were video-taped and audio cassettes and printed transcripts were made of the lectures. We believe these recordings will be interesting to listen to and valuable to your Come, Follow Me study program this year. Each week, we will include the lectures covering the Book of Mormon chapters being studied that week.
All 112 lectures are immediately available in PDF, audio, video, and electronic formats, as well as in paperback books that are available for purchase. Links for all of the available online sources can be found in the Complete Bibliography for Hugh Nibley at https://interpreterfoundation.org/bibliographies/hugh-w-nibley/lectures/.

Lecture 111: Book of Mormon—Ether 2-8.
Also called “The Boats of the Jaredites.”
In cartoons, the bad guys are bad because they’re fighting the good guys, and the good guys are good because they’re fighting the bad guys. That’s the only reason that’s ever given. Well, that’s the story of the Jaredites, isn’t it: the good guys and the bad guys fighting with no in-betweens. We’ll see more of that here.
