  7. Note: Not all the books are of equal value.

  8. “In the Old Testament, Genesis is the book of books—a divine account whose worth cannot be measured. Exodus and Deuteronomy are also of surpassing worth. Numbers, Joshua, Judges, the Samuels, the Kings, and the Chronicles are all essential history, interwoven with deeds of faith and wonder that form a background for an understanding of the Christian faith. Leviticus has no special application to us and, except for a few passages, need not give us permanent concern. Ruth and Esther are lovely stories that are part of our heritage. Bruce R. McConkie Quorum of the Twelve (CES Symposium on the New Testament, 17 August 1984)

  9. “The Psalms contain marvelous poetry, and the portions that are messianic and that speak of the last days and the Second Coming are of great import. Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Lamentations are interesting books; Job is for people who like the book of Job; and the Song of Solomon is biblical trash—it is not inspired writing. Ezra, Nehemiah, Obadiah, and Jonah are the least of the prophets; and all the rest of the prophets—Isaiah above them all—each in his place and order set forth the doctrinal and prophetic word that must be studied in depth.” Bruce R. McConkie Quorum of the Twelve (CES Symposium on the New Testament, 17 August 1984)

  16. Why is it called the “Old” Testament?

  17. “Bible,” Bible Dictionary, p. 622 • “In the Old Testament the word testament represents a Hebrew word meaning ‘covenant.’ The Old Covenant is the law that was given to Moses. The New Covenant is the gospel of Jesus Christ…. When the Savior came in the meridian of time, He restored the gospel to the Jews in Palestine. Since they had strayed, even from the law of Moses, it was a new covenant to them. Thus we have the record called the Old and the New Testaments.”

  18. “To help his sons and daughters remember their promises to him—and certainly to help them remember his promises to them—God has directed that the nature and significance of those covenants be recorded. In that process, the texts and documents preserving such promises have also been called ‘covenants.’ In fact, the words testament and covenant are virtually synonymous in their theological usage…. Thus, the Old and New Testaments, as we commonly refer to them, are written testimonies or witnesses … of the covenants between God and man in various dispensations.” Jeffrey R. Holland Quorum of the Twelve (Christ and the New Covenant, p. 7-8)

  19. Testament = Covenant The Old Testament = The Old Covenant The New Testament = The New Covenant Book of Mormon = Another Covenant D&C = The Doctrine & Covenants of the Church

  24. Testament = Covenant • The Old Testament = The Old Covenant • Genesis—technically a pre-Old Testament text—teaches us what the covenant is and who the covenant family members are. • The Old Covenant = Mosaic Covenant = Law of Moses • The purpose of the Mosaic Covenant was to be a “schoolmaster” (Gal. 3:24) to bring God’s people to Christ and prepare them for the New and Everlasting Covenant.

  26. The New Testament = The New Covenant • Christ is “the messenger of the covenant” (Mal. 3:1) • Christ is “the mediator of the new covenant” (Heb. 12:24; D&C 76:69). • “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” (Matthew 5:17) • The New Testament records Christ’s fulfillment of His part of the Covenant (Galatians 3:16).

  27. “For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” (Matthew 26:28)

  28. “Christ, in the days of His flesh, proposed to make a covenant with [Israel], but they rejected Him and His proposals, and in consequence thereof, they were broken off, and no covenant was made with them at that time…. Thus after this chosen family had rejected Christ and His proposals, the heralds of salvation said to them, "Lo, we turn unto the Gentiles;" and the Gentiles received the covenant, and were grafted in from whence the chosen family were broken off.” Joseph Smith President (History of the Church, 1:313-315)

  30. “… the Gentiles have not continued in the goodness of God, but have departed from the faith that was once delivered to the Saints, and have broken the covenant in which their fathers were established (see Isaiah 24:5); and have become high-minded, and have not feared; therefore, but few of them will be gathered with the chosen family.” Joseph Smith President (History of the Church, 1:313-315)
