Suggested Pre-Class Readings
Before watching the video for this class, please read Jacob 4-7. As you’re reading, choose one of the course “Scripture Study Skills” to practice on these chapters.
Digging Deeper
I have many ideas for how to “learn all you can about Jesus Christ” here: https://johnhiltoniii.com/learn-of-me/
In my article “Psalms in the Book of Mormon,” I talk more about how Jacob and other Book of Mormon authors use the Old Testament Psalms.
If you want a book on Jacob 5 that’s about as long as the Book of Mormon, I recommend “The Allegory of the Olive Tree: The Olive, the Bible, and Jacob 5,” edited by Stephen D. Ricks and John W. Welch.
If you’re a visual learner you might enjoy this seminary video from the 1990s: The Olive Tree Allegory. The Church also just released a new video on Jacob 5.
