Jacob 5 Allegory of the Olive Tree Study Booklet

I made this study booklet for my class’ study of Jacob 5 over this weekend. It has a list of things that I think will make study of this difficult chapter easier for my students.  It includes a list of symbols and their likely meaning.  It includes information on some botanical aspects of olive tree production.  It includes a list of assignments to help students delve more deeply into the topic.  It also includes background information on Zenos and a descripton of each of the four visits of the Lord of the Vineyard.

• Jacob5BookletInside.pdf – The stuff on this document was taken straight from both the old and new (2013) Book of Mormon Seminary Manuals.

• Jacob5BookletOutside.pdf –Part Two of the Jacob 5 Study Booklet. The botanical information is from a BYU Maxwell Institute publication. The information on Zenos and points to look for are from the (2013) BoM manual. The assignments are a collection of ideas from the manual and this facebook group.

Print or photocopy this document front to back to help students Jacob 5 more easily.
