“And the People Began to Forget Those Signs and Wonders”

Brant Gardner

Textual: This information was originally conceived as following immediately upon the information in our current chapter 1. This contrast between the righteousness after the sign and the growing disbelief is an important development. The break in the chapters might make it less obvious that this growing disbelief had its seeds early, and that it is a natural outgrowth of the forces that send dissident Nephites and Lamanites to the Gadiantons.
