WalkerW Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Looking for names and links of what you all consider to be the best studies on the Pearl of Great Price. Feel free to include studies on the Old Testament, Intertestamental texts, Church history, etc. that you think contribute to understanding the POGP.
livy111us Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 I'm a big fan of Jeff Bradshaws work on the POGP. It is like the POGP commentary version of Brant Gardners commentary on the BOM. http://www.templethemes.net/index.phphttp://www.mormoninterpreter.com/book-review-temple-themes-in-the-book-of-moses-by-jeffrey-m-bradshaw/ 1
