The Glory of Zion Will Be a Defense: Part 2
This is a continuation of my last post on Old Testament Lesson 36 covering Isaiah 1-6. I had hoped to post it before today (Sunday), but unfortunately didn’t quite make it. Hopefully it is still of some help to those wanting to study a bit more about these chapters of Isaiah. Isaiah Chapter 4 Due [...]

The Glory of Zion Will Be a Defense (OT Lesson 36)
Isaiah 1-6 As the Savior emphasized to the Nephite people, “great are the words of Isaiah” (3 Ne. 23:1). It is with this reminder and caveat that I approach writing a post on the first chapters of the book of Isaiah. Attempting to give any type of summary, nevermind an in-depth analysis, of these chapters [...]
“God Reveals His Secrets to His Prophets” (OT Lesson 35)
Amos 3; 7-9; Joel 2-3 Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. This week’s Sunday School lesson covers parts of the writings of two more of the “minor prophets” (see last week’s post for details): Amos and Joel. Background In the actual order [...]

“I Will Betroth Thee unto Me in Righteousness” (OT Lesson 34)
I have to begin this post by apologizing for missing a lesson! My schedule last week didn’t allow me to comment on OT Lesson 33, covering the book of Jonah and sections from Micah. It’s not that there is nothing interesting to say about these books — there certainly is — it’s just that I [...]

Biblical Wisdom Literature: Job (OT Lesson 32)
Job 1-2; 13; 19; 27; 42 The first thing that caught my attention when I looked at the Sunday School study guide for this lesson on Job was that the prescribed lesson plan jumps around the book of Job, skipping many chapters in between. This is, I’m sure, par for Sunday School study of Job [...]

Biblical Wisdom Literature: Proverbs and Ecclesiastes (OT Lesson 31)
This Sunday School lesson covers the entirety of the biblical books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. Of course justice cannot be done to these books in one lesson (or in one blog post). I will attempt to give a bit of an overview of what these two books are about in a way that I hope [...]
