About This Book

A forty-four-lesson course offers an outline history of successive dispensations of the gospel, arguing for a single, everlasting plan and tracing its recurring principles across ages. Each lesson supplies a subject analysis, subdivisions, scripture citations, and notes that sometimes expand into brief treatises, with prelude lessons presenting foundational theological principles. Students are urged to read the cited scriptures and authorities, supplement lessons with original study and wide reading, and practice thorough class presentations. Practical guidance for lesson preparation, teaching expectations, and recommended reference works completes the course framework.
