[Teachldsseminary] Teach: NT Sequentially or in Harmony

[Linda Harper]

I always teaching sequentially to contrast the differences and additional
insights in the various parallel accounts give. I love it.    I take time at
the beginning to talk about the various audiences the four gospels referred
to but 

 

I did that for the OT and put the prophets in at their proper places through
Esther. I had students say they had never understood the panorama of the
prophets before like that and how it related to what was going on
historically.

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!
