Give Ear to My Words

by Hank Smith,  Nick Frederick,  Kerry Hull 

While Jesus said his disciples were at or near Caesarea Philippi, Peter testified that Jesus was "the Christ, the Son of the living God." Martha had a similar divine testimony, proclaiming, "I believe that thou are the Christ, the Son of God." In much the same way, a standard part of Latter-day Saint discourse includes bearing testimony that "Jesus is the Christ," but what do we mean when we say that Jesus is the Christ? This volume compiles essays given at a BYU Sidney B. Sperry Symposium that uniquely address such questions from a Latter-day Saint perspective, bringing together both biblical scholarship and Restoration insights that invite us to come to Christ and apply gospel teachings to real life. The following gospel scholars are contributors to the 48th Annual Sperry Symposium on the person and work of Jesus Christ in the New Testament: Tad R. Callister Mark D. Ellison Ryan Sharp Daniel B. Sharp Jared W. Ludlow Jennifer C. Lane Avram R. Shannon Frank F. Judd, Jr. David A LeFevre Dan Belnap Joseph M. Spencer Jane Allis-Pike Matthew L. Bowen Kevin L. Tolley Mark D. Ogletree Byran B.
