[Teachldsseminary] Teach: NT Sequentially or in Harmony

[Barb Gardner]

Decisions. Decisions. As we approach the New Testament year in seminary the decision is ours whether we teach the Gospels sequentially or in harmony.  As we peruse the 'Harmony' Teacher's Manual we see lesson blocks like this: Matthew 8-9; Mark 1:23-2:12; 5:21-6:6; Luke 7-8. As we prepare lessons, keeping our fingers in different places as we review back and forth, we can literally run out of fingers! On the other hand, as we teach sequentially, our students may bring up facts and ideas from the same story told in another Gospel that we are not able to turn to quickly or easily. It was this dilemma that started the Annotated Scriptures! One of the CES staff wanted the ability to be in a single Gospel and then, with a click of the mouse, see a side by side comparison of that Gospel with the other three. The New Testament Annotated Scriptures does just that. And it is now available to you on CD to load on your own computer. This makes it a quick resource as you prepare lessons or can be used in the classroom, allowing you full flexibility to move between sequential and chronological events. 

In addition, The New Testament Annotated Scriptures includes ALL the Joseph Smith Translations, not just those found in our own standard works. And as you've come to expect, quotes from the General Authorities of the Church as well as graphics, stories, object lessons and lesson ideas.

If you'd like to try it before owning it you can sign up for a free two-week trial on-line:

I hope you find it useful and a huge timesaver as you go forth to teach!
