Abstract

The trials of three major opponents of Nephite leadership—Sherem, Nehor, and Korihor—are documented in the Book of Mormon (see Jacob 7; Alma 1; 30). The situations and outcomes of those trials are compared in this chart. Although each of these men had his own style and persuasive tactics and each case is historically unique and distinctive, they were similar in their attempt to lead people down various "broad roads"—away from Christ and to spiritual death. according to its order in the scriptural passage it appears in.)
