I started thinking that the time of the books of at least Jarom and Omni are like the latter part of the Old Testament where the writing is the prophets seem to be more spread out temporally and geographically. They are much less historically concentrated like 1 Nephi, 2 Nephi, and Jacob or like Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua.
It struck me again that this record is not a smooth record of history, it is concentrated on a few key periods of history over a two millennium span across two entirely separate cultures but it is all bound by a single purpose: to testify of Christ.
