As we start the new year of Come Follow Me and begin our study of the New Testament again, we are getting a new slate of study guides and books from great scholars and teachers. John Hilton III and Nicholas J. Frederick, both professors at BYU, have released a new collection of essays about Christ and the New Testament in their volume “Learn of Me: History and Teachings of the New Testament.”
This new book is being released through the Religious Studies Center, which produces excellent content and rarely goes off track. You can expect some really great insights this year from the authors.
Description from the publisher: “This volume of collected essays is intended to assist disciples of Jesus Christ in coming to a deeper understanding of the Savior and his ministry through their personal study of the New Testament. Because the period and culture of the New Testament can be daunting to modern readers, the editors gathered the work of Latter-day Saint scholars who have devoted time and research to gaining a greater understanding of the New Testament. The editors included essays written from a variety of perspectives to highlight the different lenses that can productively be brought to bear on the New Testament. Some of these essays are overtly devotional, while others are more explicitly academic, but all are written with the intent to help each of us accomplish one goal: to learn of him.”
