I believe he's being sarcastic.

Thanks, DDD. Yep, all my New Testament lessons (45 of them) are still available on the blog. I do have a whole bunch of OT lessons that I never posted that maybe I should add but they are rougher because they were never intended to be public notes. For some reason I thought of you when I wrote that section. Last edited by pelagius; 06-12-2008 at 07:44 PM. |

I've come around in terms of Alma 5. It was never a particularly meaningful chapter to me. I kind of associated it with (in my view) kitschy or overly sentimental music. But preparing the lesson notes changed my view quite a bit. It really is a great sermon. I think my basic problem was I had a hard time seeing the big picture. I would get a little lost in the rapid far onslaught of the questions. Taking time to understand the structure and different parts was very rewarding for me.
I small plug. I prepped my lesson using Grant Hardy's Book of Mormon: A Reader's Edition. I really like it (http://books.google.com/books?id=Nj6...xWGF3LBlaAQZGk ). I struggled coming up with stuff in my first read through using the standard edition. I might be alone, but I really like paragraphs and modern typographic conventions. Anyways, probably not everyone will find it helpful but I find it quite useful. |
