Description
A companion to your study of the Old Testament, the Old Testament Study Guides from the Making Precious Things Plain Series are a rich resource for teachers, students, and gospel scholars alike. In these three volumes full of supplemental material, Dr. Randal Chase, a veteran Institute and “Come, Follow Me” teacher, shares years of insights into the scriptures by exploring scriptural symbolism, background, culture, and chronology, as well as the words and teachings of gospel authorities. These unique study guides of the Old Testament provide new depth and understanding to the scriptures. Readers will enjoy Dr. Chase’s relaxed style and easy presentation as they gather information, clarification, and quotes that can be used for either private study or public speaking. These unique study guides will be a welcome addition to any library, and they will broaden your comprehension of the “First Testament of Jesus Christ.” The many beloved stories of the Old Testament come to life in understandable form as we read of Jehovah’s dealings with early mankind—from the creation through the many prophets and kings to the final words of Malachi. Dr. Chase has also released 3 volumes each on the Book of Mormon, Church History, and the New Testament.
