Book of Mormon (Religion 275)
“These new courses are intended to be
cornerstones of your religious education
experience. They are centered in the
scriptures and the teachings of latter-day
prophets, with a focus on the Savior, His
doctrine, and significant events in
Church history.
As you study across all of the standard
works, the scriptures will become woven
together, helping you to develop greater
gospel scholarship and more fully
understand and appreciate each book of
the standard works.
These classes will build on your previous
church and personal experiences with
gospel study. They will assist you in
applying gospel principles in ways that
are relevant to your current
circumstances.”
Brigham Young
Journal of Discourses
2:314
I believe that we need to read the
scriptures with Brigham Young’s
comment in mind.
◦ There is change in understanding God and
His will as you progress through the
scriptures.
◦ Although we like to think that 7th century
B.C. Jews understood things just like we do
today, it is simply not true.
What applies to revelation on a general
level applies to us on an individual level
as well.
◦ You and I need to be aware that our
promptings, impressions, flashes of insight,
visions, dreams, angelic ministrations, and
other forms of revelation are likewise
imperfect, and we always need further light
and knowledge.
