"Korihor appeared toward the latter end of the seventeenth year of the reign of the judges, and the rapid favorable response to his teachings suggests that he tapped into a sense of unease and insecurity experienced by at least some portion of the Nephite population. Korihor found an audience that believed that the current system of leadership--in particular the ecclesiastical structure—was flawed at best, and corrupted at worst in regard to its relationship to the Nephites’ ability to exercise their rights and privileges. While it does not appear that Korihor's teachings led directly to the politically divisive events that would follow a few months later, there is no question that the teachings, as we have them now, outlined an ontological and epistemological philosophy that threatened the Nephite social and cultural traditions, legal and political systems, and church."
