Guide to the Life of Christ

Richard Lloyd Anderson, Provo, Utah: Foundation for Ancient Research & Mormon Studies (FARMS), Rev. ed. 1999, Volume 1, 8.5x11" softbound, 128 pages. ISBN: 714861014402

Nothing in world literature equals the Gospels, and no one in world history matches the divine person whome they portray. As Brother Anderson says in his preface to this student supplement: "Full salvation comes only by obeying Christ's complete gospel, so true education contains nothing more important than the Lord's teachings. . . The life of Christ is life-giving. Knowing him is the key to our own potential."

This study guide moves through the Savior's life in the order of events, focusing on central teachings. It was prepared by Richard Lloyd Anderson as a supplement for the use of his students in New Testament classes at BYU. It provides study questions, summaries, background material, and excerpts from other important sources to make study of the Gospels more meaningful and rewarding. Brother Anderson is one of the most knowledgeable of LDS New Testament scholars. For decades he has inspired and enlightened students with his perceptions and testimony of this book of scripture. Because of the great contributions that Brother Anderson has made to our understanding of the New Testament and because of the usefulness of this student supplement, FARMS is pleased to make it available to a larger audience in this FARMS Reprint Edition.

Dr. Anderson received his Ph.D. from the University of California (Berkeley) and is Professor Emeritus of Ancient Scripture at BYU. He is senior research fellow at the Joseph Fielding Smith Institute for Latter-day Saint History at BYU, where he taught New Testament and Church history for four decades. With doctorates in both law and history, he is a scholars' scholar. His passion for history has profoundly influenced his scholarly career; his passion for order and system has shaped his missionary work and directed his into studying law; and his love for Brigham Young University and loyalty to its mission and destiny have guided his academic path.
