According to Donald Parry, climax is the idea of an ascension of expression, from a beginning point to a climatic situation. A good example is found in Alma 42:22-23:
But there is a law given, and a punishment affixed, and a repentance granted; which repentance mercy claimeth; otherwise, justice claimeth the creature and executeth the law, and the law inflicteth the punishment; if not so, the works of justice would be destroyed, and God would
cease to be God. But God
ceaseth not to be God, and
mercy claimeth the penitent, and
mercy cometh because of the
atonement; and the
atonement bringeth to pass the
resurrection of the dead; and the
resurrection of the dead bringeth back men into the
presence of God; and thus they are restored into his
presence, to be judged according to their words.
