Gospel Doctrine Lessons 14, 15: Podcasts!

Last updated on: April 18, 2014 at 2:38 pm By Ben Spackman

Four years ago, when I was running the Mormon Portal, I started doing podcasts on Old Testament Sunday School lessons. They were a bit sporadic, but generally good and improved as time went on. Later podcasts also include a transcript. I’ll be linking to them as part of the regular weekly post here. Alas, they are no longer available on iTunes and I shan’t be making any new ones. They were time-consuming, and fun as it was, I just don’t... Read more

And he put his hand upon mine eyes, and I saw those things which his hands had made,... Read more

The Rediscovery of the World of the Old Testament Screencast

Last updated on: April 6, 2014 at 9:00 am By Ben Spackman

I’ve presented a version of this as a fireside in Paris (in French!) and Jacksonville, Fl, and promised to make it available online. It’s the first screencast I’ve ever done, and I made it between finals and leaving the country for several weeks, so it’s a little rough. How can we contextualize the Old Testament, and understand it? Most people are unaware of the major discoveries of the last 150 years which have revolutionized our knowledge of Israel’s neighbors and... Read more

Hello, Sis/Bro Blank ! Thanks for coming in and meeting with me. I’d like to make you aware of the contents of this blog, dedicated to the 2014 Old Testament Gospel Doctrine curriculum of the LDS Church. Yes, it’s brand-new, and a little behind, but will get caught up and ahead very shortly. Each lesson will be posted a few weeks before most wards get to it. You’ll have plenty of time to read, digest, and prep for class. No, I’m not calling you... Read more
