Teachings and Doctrine of the Book of Mormon (Religion 275) is designed to help students approach the study of the Book of Mormon differently. Lessons in this course focus on important doctrinal themes emphasized by the inspired authors of the Book of Mormon.
President Ezra Taft Benson (1899–1994) invited readers of the Book of Mormon to focus their attention on the doctrine contained within:
“The Book of Mormon was written for our day… We must not only know the history and inspiring stories it contains, but we must understand its teachings. If we truly do our part and approach the Book of Mormon with a focus on doctrine, we can expose errors and find truths to combat many of the false theories and philosophies of men today” (“Jesus Christ—Gifts and Expectations ”, Ensign, December 1988, p. 4).
Throughout this course, students will study the teachings and prophetic writings found in the Book of Mormon, emphasizing Heavenly Father’s plan and the central role of His Son Jesus Christ. Students will more fully understand that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and will deepen their love for Him and their testimony of Him. They will improve their ability to study gospel doctrines in the context of the scriptures, which It will lead them to greater knowledge and to be better disciples. They will be prepared to explain the importance and divine origin of the Book of Mormon and the doctrine it contains, as well as to testify to it.
What is expected of the students?
Students should read the scriptures and prophetic discourses that appear in the “Student Reading Materials” section of each lesson. Students must also meet attendance requirements and demonstrate proficiency in the course material.
