The Great & Marvelous Change

Shortly after Christ's death and resurrection, he spoke to Lehi's seed, describing the marvelous change he had wrought: the law of Moses was fulfilled, death was conquered, and the faithful could inherit eternal life (see 3 Nephi 9:13-22). His words evoked hours of astonished silence. Later, thousands of those who had heard his sayings gathered at the temple to marvel and wonder about "the great and marvelous change which had taken place" (3 Nephi 11:1).

This book explores the intriguing possibility that the multitude went to the temple to learn more about the Atonement--the greatest and most marvelous change in time and eternity--and that Jesus Christ came to them to reveal the knowledge they sought.
