Description
This set of study guides includes Making Isaiah Plain and Making Jeremiah Plain: two essential tools for understanding the somewhat mysterious writings of these two major Old Testament prophets.
Making Isaiah Plain
An essential new study guide for the challenging words of the man who Nephi called “the Prophet,” and whose teachings the Savior commanded us to read. A companion to the study of Isaiah in the Old Testament and in the Book of Mormon, this volume is without question, the most helpful guide to Isaiah available today.
Dr. Randal S. Chase, a veteran CES and Institute instructor, provides insights into the culture, language, meaning, and chronology of the writings of Isaiah in a relaxed and understandable style. The stories, quotes, examples, maps and illustrations are unequaled in any other reference guide of its kind in print today.
Readers will find themselves gaining insights and understanding from Isaiah that have eluded them before.
The cover features the famous 1896 woodcut/painting of Isaiah by Gustave Doré.

Making Jeremiah Plain
A must for every Book of Mormon, “Come, Follow Me”, Seminary, or Institute teacher and student. Making Jeremiah Plain is an essential new study guide for the confusing story and words of the prophet Jeremiah. This volume is without question, the most helpful guide to Jeremiah available today. It unravels the chronological mess that was created when Jeremiah’s chapters were scattered, then recovered in confusing non-chronological order by scribes in ancient Israel.

Chase, a veteran CES and Institute instructor, unravels the chronological puzzle and provides insights into the culture, language, meaning, and chronology of the writings of Jeremiah in a relaxed and understandable style. The stories, quotes, examples, maps and illustrations are unequaled in any other reference guide of its kind in print today.
