Abstract

In the Book of Mormon, several specific episodes involve covenant-making. For example, Alma the Elder’s converts make covenants when they are baptized at the Waters of Mormon. The title page of the Book of Mormon states that one of its functions is to teach modern Israel to “know the covenants of the Lord.”
