0:00.0	Good morning and welcome to another episode of the Maxwell Institute's Book of Mormon Studies podcast.
0:12.0	Today we are talking about the scholarly literature on First Nephi, and I'm joined today by a terrific guest, Jasmine Jimenez-Rapley. Jasmine is the director
0:24.2	of communications at Scripture Central, and she's, her face and voice are probably familiar to
0:30.1	those who know the Scripture Plus app. She runs all the social media for Scripture Plus. She's a
0:36.3	great communicator. She knows and loves the Book of
0:38.5	Mormon. And I'm so happy that she's with us this morning. Welcome, Jasmine. Thanks for having me.
0:43.5	This is really exciting. I feel honored to be here. Yes. So I have a couple of goals for our episode today.
0:51.4	This is the first time this year that we've done an episode of the podcast that
0:56.4	focuses on scholarly work around the Book of Mormon. So I'm hoping that by the end of our

1:08.8	that there is, in fact, scholarship around the Book of Mormon.
1:12.3	There's quite a lot that has been going on in some form or another for almost a century and
1:18.0	really has professionalized over the last 40 years or so.
1:22.0	So I hope to introduce readers to that field and give them a sense for what kind of scholarly work can and
1:29.7	does happen in relation to the Book of Mormon.
1:32.8	Second of all, I hope to demystify it.
1:35.6	I hope that people feel empowered by our conversation and are interested in perhaps diving
1:41.7	into it.
1:42.3	There's so much available online through the great work of Scripture Central,
1:47.1	the Maxwell Institute, the Interpreter Foundation,
1:50.3	lots of resources that people can go to online and can, for themselves,
1:55.2	get in up to their elbows in this emerging scholarly literature.
