Education Week

As a reminder, Jeff is teaching a course at BYU's Campus Education Week, which started yesterday and is going through Friday.
Title: Enoch, Noah, and the Tower of Babel
Location: 2254 BYU Conference Center (Link)
Date: 1:50-2:45pm, 19-23 August 2013
This four-part class will be an in-depth study of the lives and missions of Enoch and Noah, based on the teachings of the Pearl of Great Price and modern prophets. The prominence of temple themes in these accounts will be emphasized, and striking parallels to modern revelation found in writings from the ancient Near East will be described. We will also discuss the story of the Tower of Babel in its biblical and ancient Near East setting, and will explore how lessons from the stories of Enoch, Noah, and the Tower of Babel apply to the Saints in our day.
