A Restored View of the Old Testament:

Dr Wilson has a Ph.D. in Theology and American Religious History. Along with Jack Welch, Dr. Wilson is one of the co-founder of Book of Mormon Central and the insights she and John Cho provide on this podcast are exceptional.

Come Follow Me New Testament

Produced by Book of Mormon Central, with host Dr. Lynne Wilson PhD. Like the Old Testament version listed above, this podcast dives into some of the deeper doctrines and cultural settings of the New Testament, and how that world compares to modern day. Dr Wilson has a Ph.D. in Theology and American Religious History. She, and Jack Welch, are the co-founders of Scripture Central and listening to Dr. Wilson is always a delight.

Come Follow Me Read-Along

This Podcast is simply a reading of the passages covered in each Come Follow Me lesson. There is no commentary, just the scriptures read by Bradley Ross. The translation Mr. Ross uses is the New English Translation (NET). While the KJV is widely respected for its scholarship and historical significance, the NET is seen as a more modern and accessible option for readers, focusing on both accuracy and readability. netbible.org

Y Religious Podcast

A collection of Podcasts produced by BYU's Religious Education Program. These podcasts cover a wide range of religious and academic topics.

Messages of Christ

These collections of videos offer excellent insights into the history and context of the Bible. The producer, Daniel Smith, incorporates videos about essential aspects of Ancient Israelite and Jewish culture, including the Ancient Festivals, Temple Worship, the archeology and geography of the Holy Land, Holy Week, and other related topics. In almost all of his videos, Smith demonstrates how the Ancient Jewish traditions were intended to testify of Jesus Christ.

The Bible Project

The Bible Project is not an LDS source, but it is an excellent resource that is used at the BYU Jerusalem Center for their study abroad program. Some of the more general videos have perspectives that differ slightly from LDS doctrine, but the overviews of the individual books are excellent.

BYU Easter Conferences

"Each year, BYU Religious Education and the Religious Studies Center sponsor the annual BYU Easter Conference. A General Authority emeritus or former Church leader is invited to give the keynote address. Accompanying the keynote speaker are other teachers, educators, scholars, authors, speakers, historians, or experts on Christ. All speakers talk about the Savior, his life, his mission, his Atonement, and his influence in our lives today. Attending the BYU Easter Conference is an ideal way to prepare to celebrate the Easter season." (https://rsc.byu.edu/conferences/easter)
