Doctrinal New Testament Commentary: Volumes 1-3


Bruce R. McConkie - 1972
    "How can I," came the answer, "except some man should guide me." Jesus said: "Search the scriptures," and gave the promise, "Whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived." Today the Lord's command is: "Teach one another the doctrine of the kingdom." This Doctrinal New Testament Commentary is designed to enable gospel students to learn and live the doctrines of the New Testament; to grasp the greatness and glory of our Lord's mortal ministry; to comprehend the doctrines of the Master Teacher and of those commissioned by him to reveal pure religion to the world. Salvation centers in Christ. He is the Creator and Redeemer; the Way and the Truth; the Light of the World; the One Man who could say: "Follow thou me." Most of our knowledge of his earth-bound ministry is contained in the four Gospels. It is devoutly hope that this Commentary will help make the Gospels a living reality in the lives of gospel scholars, that it will help them understand what they read. Jesus himself is real; the Gospels are his life story; of him they teach and testify; and a knowledge of them is essential to salvation.

A Time to Choose


Neal A. Maxwell - 1972
    For, 'there is a time for every purpose and for every work,' including a time to choose. For some, choosing will be a first experience; for others, seeking to get back on the straight and narrow, it will involve recommitment. Either way, the demands of discipleship are the same, and the earliest one can ever face his time to choose is now!"

Life of Joseph F. Smith


Joseph Fielding Smith - 1972
    He commenced life in the midst of tribulation and dark persecution, and through the greater part of his life he was called upon to face the spirit of hate and wickedness, to a degree almost beyond human endurance. He was deprived of his father's loving and needed care and protection when but six years of age, through the wicked, murderous hate of a fiendish mob, among which wore found professed ministers of religion. Fortunately he was left in the care of a loving, capable, highly religious mother, whose soul was filled with a faith and fortitude which carried on in the face of almost insurmountable difficulties. By her he was taught strict obedience to the laws of God. Because of her faith, and integrity to the truth, he learned not only to rely on her counsels in his tender years, but the impressions she left upon his soul continued with him through all his years.
