Well known and beloved in its text form, most of the essays in this book were originally delivered as speeches. This audio version, read by the author"s son, Thomas Hugh Nibley, evokes the original delivery of Hugh Nibley the speaker with his slashing wit, profound scholarship, and burning faith. In Approaching Zion, Hugh Nibley gives thinkers reason to believe, and believers something to think about.
