For those of us working on the Alma 14 wiki project, what are some of your thoughts or insights as you work through this chapter?

I was pleasantly surprised when I started reading Skousen’s The Book of Mormon: The Earliest Text to see that his reformatting of the text provided a new perspective and raised new questions for me from the very first lines of the Title Page. Read the rest of this entry »

NT Sunday School Lesson 24 (JF): John 16-17

Posted by Jim F. on June 21, 2011

Remember: though these may be useful in helping a person to prepare a Sunday School lesson, they are intended primarily to help one study and prepare for taking part in Sunday School. That’s why you’ll find questions with no answers; they are study questions. Read the rest of this entry »

Actually Beginning a Concerted Wiki Project: Alma 14

Posted by joespencer on June 19, 2011

I’ve been quite pleased with the number of people (on and off the blog) who have expressed interest in pursuing a concerted wiki project. I’ve made an executive decision and determined that we will work on Alma 14. In this post, I’ll lay out what I think should be our basic protocol, and we can work from there. If there is any necessary metadiscussion, it can be done here to begin with. Otherwise, follow the instructions below and get started! Read the rest of this entry »

Launching a concerted wiki project…

Posted by joespencer on June 15, 2011

Hello all,

I’m hoping to organize a small effort to do some work at the Feast wiki. The idea would be to get a group together that is prepared to work on a text all at the same time. The text remains to be decided; for the moment, I’m just trying to gather a few interested folks. For those who have wanted to contribute to the wiki and would like a bit of guidance in doing so, this is a good opportunity. For those who have a text they are burning to work through, this is a good opportunity.

Takers?
