As you read Jeremiah, you should do what the lesson materials for Isaiah suggested: ask how those to whom Jeremiah was speaking would have understood his prophecies, how those in the Book of Mormon (who had a record of part of his prophecies with them) would have understood them, how the members...

Old Testament Lesson 37: "Thou Hast Done Wonderful Things"
Mormon Life says: What is the best thing anyone ever did for you? Have you experienced an act of service or sacrifice so stunning that you could not stop speaking of it. Have you ever used the word "wonderful" to describe such goodness?

Old Testament Lesson 37: Isaiah 22, 23, 24-26, 27, 28-30
Chapters 23 and 27 are not assigned for the lesson. Nevertheless, I have included them because I will refer to them. This week, rather than giving a list of questions to answer, I will suggest some exercises in reading that seem to me to be particularly appropriate to reading Isaiah, exercises in...

Sunday School Lesson 33: Jonah 1-4: Micah 2, 4-7

OT Lesson 31: Proverbs and Ecclesiastes
I laughed when I saw what this lesson covers, “only” slightly less than 16,000 words in Proverbs and slightly more than 23,000 words in Ecclesiastes. If we have the full 40 minutes, that means we should try to cover the content of about 1,000 words per minute (assuming that we don’t have opening...
