Watch Discussions on the Doctrine and Covenants

  • 2004

Discussions on the Doctrine and Covenants is an informative and enlightening show that explores the teachings and principles of the Doctrine and Covenants of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. BYUtv brings viewers a comprehensive and thoughtful interpretation of D&C.

The show is hosted by Hank Smith and John Hilton III, both professors of religion at Brigham Young University, who provide insightful and engaging discussions on the scriptures. Each episode features a different chapter of the Doctrine and Covenants, which is read aloud by a guest host. Hank and John offer commentary, background information, and historical context to help viewers better understand and apply the teachings of the D&C in their daily lives.

One of the show’s unique features is its interactive approach. Hank and John regularly invite other religion professors and church leaders to join them on the show to share their insights and perspectives. These guests bring a diversity of experience and learning that enrich the discussions and offer new ways to think about the gospel.

Another strength of Discussions on the Doctrine and Covenants is its focus on relevance. The hosts recognize that the teachings of the D&C can sometimes feel abstract or distant from modern life. To help bridge this gap, they draw on personal experiences and examples from everyday life to demonstrate how the principles of the D&C can be applied in practical ways. They also encourage viewers to share their own experiences and perspectives on social media using the hashtag #dandc42.

The production values of the show are top-notch. Filmed on location on the BYU campus, Discussions on the Doctrine and Covenants features polished visuals and sound design that enhance the viewing experience. The set is warm and inviting, with cozy furniture and muted lighting that create a conducive atmosphere for reflection and discussion.

Overall, Discussions on the Doctrine and Covenants is an excellent resource for anyone interested in deepening their understanding and appreciation of the teachings of the LDS Church. The hosts’ engaging and accessible style, combined with their deep knowledge and respect for the scriptures, make for a compelling and educational viewing experience. Whether you’re a seasoned member of the church or a curious outsider, there is something to be gained from watching Discussions on the Doctrine and Covenants.
