Acknowledgements

Many people deserve credit for their help in the creation of this course, not all of which are listed here, for which I apologize.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its Leaders: Much of what I have learned and shared come from the leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Although I don’t directly attribute General Authorities in each course “acknowledgements” section, I’m deeply indebted to their insights and teachings. I’ve also used images and videos created by the Church in this Master Class.

Colleagues: Many of my colleagues have influenced my approach to teaching the Book of Mormon. First, I thank all my friends in the Book of Mormon Academy who have shared many insights and teaching approaches over the years. I also acknowledge the contributions of Ken Alford, Grant and Heather Hardy, Dennis Largey, Robert Millet, Noel Reynolds, Royal Skousen, Anthony Sweat, and John W. Welch, among many others.

Family and Friends: Several family members have provided encouragement on this course, notably Lani Hilton, and my parents Lee and Shawna Hilton. Lily Skinner did significant work in preparing the PowerPoints that are available for download. Lisa Spice provided a studio and recording equipment, as well as other support. Special thanks is also due to Kyle Nelson, Kevin Bushrow and others at MaxConnect for the time and expertise they have put into the course website design and other efforts. Kaitlyn Bateman, Andrew Newman, Lily Skinner and Adam Swensen contributed their video editing talents.
