Lesson from Live Life by the Book Class 2-5-2012
Today we began our study of the Book of Mormon. Before we began looking at the book we first looked at some verses that challenge us to renew our minds, guard our minds, use our minds as we discern truth. This is very important when we study something like the Book of Mormon, that has many words and terms similar to the Bible, but that uses them very differently. We’ll discuss those things later, but at this point we aren’t discussing the content of the book, but looking at the history of how it came about and comparing and contrasting that with the history of how we got our Bible.
As you will see, though the Mormon Church often compares the Book of Mormon with the Bible, the two books are very different in how they came about. Below are the notes from the lesson on the Book of Mormon, part one. There are two handouts, the ones given out in class and then the larger, full-size PowerPoint Presentation.
