Template:Old Testament
Beginning in January 2022, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will begin a year-long study of the Old Testament.
The Holy Bible is one of four volumes of sacred scripture that is used by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The other three volumes are the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price. The Old Testament is a part of the Bible and comprises the first half of that volume. The books of the Old Testament are drawn from a national literature and were written almost entirely in Hebrew; a few writings contain Aramaic, a related language. It contains writings of ancient prophets who acted under the influence of the Holy Spirit and who over many centuries testified of Christ and His future ministry. It also contains a record of the history of Abraham and his descendants, beginning with Abraham, and the covenant, or testament, the Lord made with Abraham and his posterity.
