Korihor and the Art of Antichristianity - How the Book of Mormon Teaches Us to Recognize the Arguments That Remove Christ
What if the Book of Mormon's accounts of Korihor, Sherem, Nehor, the Zoramites, and others were preserved not merely as history-but as a warning for our time?In Korihor and the Art of Antichristianity, A. Howard North examines a recurring pattern in the Book of Mormon: arguments and philosophies that ultimately make Jesus Christ unnecessary. Korihor is the clearest example, but he is not alone. Sherem attacks prophecy.
Nehor removes repentance. Priestcraft turns religion into personal gain. The Zoramites preserve worship while removing the Savior. Different methods lead toward the same destination: a world in which mankind no longer needs a Redeemer. Drawing heavily from the Book of Mormon, the King James Bible, teachings of modern prophets and apostles, and official Church resources, North traces how these ancient arguments reappear in modern language-often sounding reasonable, compassionate, sophisticated, or even religious.
This is not a book about labeling people as anti-Christs. It is about recognizing ideas, assumptions, and persuasive methods that diminish, replace, or remove Jesus Christ from His role as Savior and Redeemer. More importantly, the book does not end with Korihor. It ends with Alma's answer:"All things denote there is a God."The purpose is not merely to recognize arguments against faith, but to strengthen faith in the living Christ.
