Sobre IBD

Constructed around a key episode in the Book of Mormon, The Nephiad blends the rigidly-defined structures and grand style of the Renaissance epic poem with modern-day scripture to re-create a genre that is at once uplifting and compelling. Gideon Burton calls it 'a unique contribution to Mormon literature.' 3
