Gohan Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 The last revision was in 2000. It can be read online at the link I gave previously. If you go there, does the cover look the same as the one you saw?Yep, that's the one that we had. I remember enjoying reading it, gave some cool/interesting perspectives on some things.

If you go there, does the cover look the same as the one you saw?Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the PoGP manual from 2000 was the first PoGP manual ever used by CES. Before that, some parts of the PoGP were studied along with the Old Testament, and others were studied along with the D&C.
rpn Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I wish they would identify when they are doing this. And I dearly wish that they would include the most current biblical scholarship as a backdrop --- not doctrine, but useful in understanding what was happening when.
Senator Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I think this is a sad thread, hoping the Church will "dumb down" the Institute manuals so they fall in line with mainstream "scholarship" and the theories of men. That is all I will say to avoid being banned from this thread. Do you think previous manuals have been void of mainstream scholarship?
thesometimesaint Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Senator:No, but I too would like to see more.

cinepro Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Senator:No, but I too would like to see more.If you look at the Bibliography for the Old Testament student manual, I'm not sure what kind of case could be made for "scholarship". If you take out publications by General Authorities and resources pre-dating 1930, there's not much left from what I can tell.It would also be great to one day have college-level Bible classes in the Church where students are encouraged to study other translations along with the KJV. If the new manuals make any steps in this direction, that would be interesting.But I suppose if the new manual doesn't have any references to "Man: His Origin and Destiny", that might just have to be enough.
David T Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 Is that the manual with the idiotic question about Cain thinking he was free from having to work?Moses 5:33 .

I would love to see you shred this view.What's wrong with the question and since it doesn't put any constraints on our thinking, what is there to shred? Don't EVs also think they are free from having to do work?

Don't EVs also think they are free from having to do work?Cain just inherited a flock of sheep. Anyone who supposes Cain could have been thinking that now he was free from work is someone who has never had to tend sheep. In such an age work was an integral part of life. No stores, no running water, fires had to be built, the land had to be tilled, etc., etc.The question in the manual is a ridiculously modernistic one and does little good in trying to understand the story of Cain as presented in the PoGP.
volgadon Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 When are we getting branded with the letter 'H'?
Calm Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 When are we getting branded with the letter 'H'?Like this?

No stores, no running water, fires had to be built, the land had to be tilled, etc., etc.Different kinds of work though. Cain, whose sacrifice was rejected, might have been thinking he could get back to watching plants grow instead of chasing after sheep. I have no idea what he meant, especially not having the the book before me, but it didn't take much imagination to start thinking about the appropriateness of each sacrifice.
