We are\u00a0pleased to announce the Third Annual BYU New Testament Commentary Conference will be held on Friday,\u00a0July 31, 2015, 9 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., in the Hinckley Alumni Center at BYU. This conference is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n
We are celebrating the upcoming publication of the newest e-book in the New Testament Commentary Series, which is Paul\u2019s First Epistle to the Corinthians,<\/i> by Richard D. Draper and Michael D. Rhodes. Everyone who attends the conference may register for a free copy of this e-book.<\/p>\n
First Corinthians has long held a prominent place in LDS thought, culture, and practice. It is the source of the Relief Society motto, Charity Never Faileth; and Paul\u2019s discourse on the gifts of the spirit stands behind Article of Faith 7.<\/p>\n
Richard D. Draper and Michael D. Rhodes will lead a panel discussion about their commentary on 1 Corinthians as well as respond to questions from the audience.<\/p>\n
