1 Nephi is written chiastically, with 16 of the 22 chapters
containing near chapter-wide chiasmi. Until now, these large
parallel structures have not been documented. However, by their
study we gain a deeper connection to Nephi the ancient prophet, and
new insight into his gospel thinking, in particular the Atonement.
The heart of Nephi's composition is his account of his vision of
the tree of life, which features many inspiring parallels. For
instance, there are two usages of condescension, one which speaks
of Christ's birth to a fair virgin, and the other which tells of
Christ's baptism. The question arises, how are these parallel?
Nephi's vision at the center of his book also extends into chapters
12-14. These three chapters form a large chiasmus, and narrow to
center on the restoration. The precise center of chapters 11's
chiasmus and chapters 12-14's share the common thought - that He
spake unto me. This is the hinge of Nephi's message, which is that
God desires to commune with man, whether by angel, personal
visitation, or the still small voice of the Spirit. This book also
explores in depth the story of Nephi and Laban. Answering such
questions as, what does Laban mean in Hebrew, and why is that
important? As well, this book identifies prophetic pattern found in
the stories of Jonah, Elijah, Joseph in Egypt, Moses, and Stephen,
and examines how Nephi uses these same patterns in his writing.
