After This Manner Did Korihor Preach

Alan C. Miner

Korihor, an anti-Christ, convinced many Nephites that they should not believe in Jesus Christ or his coming atonement. He taught them instead various philosophies. According to the research of Miriam Horwinski, in Korihor's phrases and arguments, modern readers can find parallels to many schools of thought. The chart below lists each of the doctrines taught by Korihor in Alma 30 and a modern or standard philosophical counterpart. (Source: Miriam Horwinski, teaching assistant of John W.
