Abstract

Explains why Mormon used valuable space on the plates to record military intrigue and battle strategy. Satan’s war “against truth and righteousness” occurring today requires divine guidance as found in the Book of Mormon, “the Lord’s combat manual for the latter days.” By using warfare chapters as a ” ‘type and shadow’ of the eternal war between good and evil,” individuals can prevail against Satan’s forces.
