The Woodland Institute

The Woodland Institute

.
[Seminary-Notes]
====================================
FOR YOUR INFORMATION...
====================================

Here is a new gospel resource that I think you will find interesting and helpful:

The Woodland Institute
Director: Richard Neitzel Holzapfel

http://www.woodlandinstitute.com/

It is very much a work-in-progress, but it already contains interesting information about all of the Standard Works.

I think that you will particularly enjoy the sections pertaining to the New Testament. For example, from the Main Menu, select the "Jesus Christ and His Gospel" item, and then the "Images of Salvation" menu item. You can read detailed explanations and information about several great New Testament works of art.

The "Joseph Smith and the Scriptures" menu option includes the text of the complete Joseph Smith Translation, and sections are being added to include comments made by Joseph Smith about various passages in the Bible.

In addition to resource information about each of the Standard Works, there is a growing selection of church history information, as well. There is even an "On This Day in Church History" database -- that you can search by date or by keyword. (I learned, for example, that Elder Dallin H. Oaks and I were born on the same day and month.)

Oh...
And did I mention that it a tri-lingual website? In addition to English, materials are also available in Spanish and Portuguese.

I have no doubt that this website will continue to grow in usefulness in the future.

Best wishes,

Ken
