Beschreibung

Noted teacher and gospel scholar David J. Ridges brings the New Testament to life with his well-known teaching skills in this three-volume, expanded edition of The New Testament Made Easier. This version now includes hundreds of additional brief notes and commentary, more verses from the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, and the complete manuscript of the best-selling book Our Savior's Life and Mission to Redeem and Give Hope. As with most of the author's other books in the Gospel Study Series, the full text of the scripture is included. An invaluable bonus to this edition, Our Savior's Life and Mission takes the reader on an up close and personal journey through the Savior's life and teachings. It begins with His premortal spirit birth as the firstborn spirit child of Heavenly Father and focuses on the Lord's three-year ministry. It then gives a detailed account of the final week of His mortal mission and His glorious resurrection. With over a million copies sold, see how readers have experienced spiritual growth and better understanding from reading and pondering the study guides in this series. A POWERFUL STUDY GUIDE Quickly gain a basic understanding of the New Testament with the help of brief notes within and between the verses. Example: John 2:3-4 It does appear from the next verses that Mary, Jesus' mother, had a role in helping to host the guests at this wedding celebration. Perhaps she was a good friend of the family. Whatever the case, she knew who her Son was, and when they ran out of wine, she requested His help. 3 And when they wanted wine [when they ran out of wine], the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come [I have time to help]. JST John 2:4 4 Jesus said unto her, Woman, what wilt thou have me to do for thee? that will I do; for mine hour is not yet come. We understand that the phrase, "mine hour is not yet come," in verse 4, above, is a way of saying, in effect, that Jesus had not yet begun His formal mission. Verse 13 marks the beginning of His formal three-year mortal mission. It is also helpful to note that the word "woman" was a term of high respect in the days of Jesus.
