Join scholar, theologian and author Terryl Givens for a 12-month series of conversations we are calling The Big Questions. Each month at The Compass in downtown Provo, Terryl will invite a special guest expert for conversations around some of the most fascinating theological and historical questions that will come up during this year’s study of the Doctrine and Covenants. Questions like:
- Was there really a “great apostasy?”
- Do the gold plates matter?
- What is a prophet?
- Do we misunderstand Christ’s suffering?
- Can doubt be a spiritual gift?
- Is ours the only “true and living” church?
- Can we offer a more expansive understanding of “the gathering?”
- What is priesthood? How should we think about covenants and ordinances?
- What do Joseph’s revelations reveal about the nature of God and about our human nature?
- Are our modern temples a restoration of ancient practices and rituals?
- Who was the historical Jesus?
- What have Church leaders taught about eternal progression? Is it ever too late?
- What revolutionary new ideas, doctrines and practices emerged from Joseph’s revelations?
- What could Restoration look like as the 21st century unfolds?
These mind-expanding, soulful conversations will include time for some open and honest Q&A, and you’ll have a chance to meet fellow seekers and make new friends.
