About This Book

The work presents a yearlong course for members of the Seventy, beginning with lessons on their history, organization, responsibilities, and instructional methods, then offering a rapid survey of the four canonical scriptures used in the faith—the Old and New Testaments, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. It emphasizes understanding each book as a whole, contextual reading over isolated text citations, practical classroom arrangements, teacher selection, lesson formats, and daily home reading expectations so that participants gain a general familiarity with scripture and improved ability to use passages responsibly.
