Redaction: Mormon continues to discuss the missionary endeavors of Mosiah’s sons but now shifts from quoted sermons to a historical overview. He has already begun to abbreviate parts of the sermons where they covered topics he had already included, and we may surmise that these discourses would have covered much of the same ground. Mormon’s intent here is not to expound doctrine but to supply an important piece of history. He gives us this section so he can tell the story of the Anti-Lehi-Nephites.
