Last night during a gospel discussion on how to effectively study the scriptures, we were following the 5 steps and we came across an interesting question.
The 5 Steps to effective scripture study are:
- What’s going on
- Wonder Why: ask questions
- Find Patterns
- Types of the Savior
- Apply Yourself
We commenced our study in Alma 56 and became interested in the dates. This is the story of the Stripling Warrior’s first battle. We noticed that the story starts off in the 30 year of the reign of the Judges. That doesn’t mean much to me, so I usually use the footnote to position the story on B.C. or A.D. time. This story commences in 62 B.C.
