Plan of Redemption

The phrase plan of redemption is used nowhere in the KJV Bible, but used 17 times in the book of Mormon (in 9 chapters), esp. Alma 12, but discussed hundreds of times in sermons and theological treatises in English publications of the 18th and 19th centuries: 1752, 1778, 1781, 1786, 1787, 1796, 1809, 1811, 1823, 1824, 1826, as well as Adam Clarke’s commentary (“published in London between 1810 and 1825, available for purchase in America at least by 1824”), which JS Jr. had access to and consulted in his Inspired Translation of the Bible project (aka JST), demonstrated by BYU professor Thomas Wayment and his student Hayley Wilson-Lemmon.
