About Us

The Olive Leaf Foundation

An Organization Dedicated to the Development of Innovative Scripture Study Resources

We know the Book of Mormon to be a true and correct account of the Nephite and Jaredite cultures and civilizations. We also believe that the most important contribution of the Book of Mormon is not it’s geography or its cultural and historical details, but its clear and masterful contributions to our understanding of gospel doctrines of salvation, correct principles of behavior, and the consequences of unrighteous choices. We believe that the geography of the Book of Mormon can ultimately help in understanding the doctrines taught in the Book of Mormon, in the same way that the geography of biblical lands helps to understand the doctrine of the Bible.
