More DescriptionThe second part of Volume 3: The spirit of deep sleep being cast upon the Saints, they cycle through increasingly phantasmagorical images of their past, as curriculum grows into a regime of copy-and-paste. The development of BYU Book of Mormon curriculum is thus reconstructed, and the missionary's message is watched as it changes from message found in the Bible, to a salesman's opportunity to sell his message, to a vast program that brings together sales programs, corporate evaluation techniques, self-help strategies, and much else from tradition to obscure the missionary's reading of the Book of Mormon.
