I’m going for a record!

This really is a wonderful service you provide. I am truly in your debt.

I love these, “How we taught in the past” posts, Tanner is one of my favorite authors, it is nice and refreshing to read his viewpoints. “Christ’s Ideals for Living” shows up at DI a lot and I always try to talk people into buying it when it shoes up. I have not seen a copy of “New Testament Speaks” yet, but I will keep my eyes out for one now.

I understand why correlation is important, but I sometimes wonder if what we have gained was worth what we have sacrificed to get here. I try to be a “good boy” when I teach SS and stick with the “approved” stuff (esp. since I am currently in the Ward SS Presidency and I am supposed to set the “example”) but sometimes I just can’t resist sneaking a few of these nuggets from years gone by in!

I hope she visits and finds that, or else that you pass the citation along to her.

OCTanner’s approach to the scriptures is very different from the way we teach things today, isn’t it? He’s often very naturalistic, yet his historical/cultural data, if they are reliable, can spark up a lesson from the current manual in a way I appreciate.

Last week you also quoted O C Tanner, but you did not name the book/manual it was from. I quoted it today and a sister in the ward said that she was related to Tanner and wondered where I got the quote from. I told her about your blog but she was hoping to find out the name of the manual.
