Mormon Identities is a program about real Latter-day Saints as they live the restored gospel of Jesus Christ in the world today. We explore how the gospel shapes our identities in episodes dealing with our communitites, culture, scriptures, doctrines, life experiences, and challenges.
Robert Millet and Daniel Judd, professor of ancient scripture at BYU, talk about effective gospel learninghow to become more serious gospel scholars. President Hugh B. Brown said that he was impressed when a man could say, "I know the gospel is true," yet he wanted to ask, "But sir, do you know the gospel?" Brothers Millet and Judd discuss the necessity of "[obtaining the] word" (D&C 11:21) through studying the scriptures and "the best books" (D&C 88:118). Faith is identified as a complement to studying, not a substitute. They also point out the benefit of giving the Lord equal time in terms of the material you read.
