D&C Articles

Because the 2009 Gospel Doctrine classes will be dealing with the Doctrine and Covenants and Church history, I began teaching a class on this subject in September 2008 in the Rogers Arkansas Stake. In connection with that class, I have been sending the students various new articles with insights into topics related to the D&C, which I have decided to post here in an effort to make them available to others who might be interested in supplementing their Gospel Doctrine studies, along with links to relevant articles previously posted elsewhere. Here I list these articles in order of the D&C section numbers that are most relevant to the topic at hand. As new articles are added, they will appear in various places in this list, following this criterion. Check back often to see what has been added. I will highlight in red the posting date of the most recent articles to facilitate finding them in the list.
