Haciendo a Jeremías simple: Guía de estudio del Antiguo Testamento para el libro de Jeremías

by Randal S. Chase, Susana Passerson (Translation)

Guía de estudio del Antiguo Testamento para el libro de Jeremías. Imprescindible para todos los estudiantes y profesores del Libro de Mormón, la Doctrina del Evangelio, Seminario o Instituto Haciendo a Jeremías simple es una nueva guía esencial para el estudio de la confusa historia y las palabras del profeta Jeremías. Este volumen es, sin duda, la guía más útil sobre Jeremías disponible en la actualidad. En ella se desenreda el desorden cronológico que se creó cuando se dispersaron los capítulos de Jeremías, que luego fueron recuperados en un confuso orden no cronológico por los escribas del antiguo Israel. El Dr. Randal S. Chase, un instructor veterano del CES (por sus siglas en Inglés: Church Educational System, Sistema Educativo de la Iglesia) y del Instituto, proporciona información detallada sobre la cultura, el lenguaje, el significado y la cronología de los escritos de Isaías en un estilo relajado y comprensible. Las historias, citas, ejemplos, mapas e ilustraciones no han sido igualados por ninguna otra guía de referencia de este tipo en la prensa actual. Los lectores se encontrarán que han ganado conocimientos y comprensión de Jeremías, que han eludido antes. La cubierta exhibe la pintura de 1630 "Jeremías lamentando la destrucción de Jerusalén", de Rembrandt.

About the author

Randal S. Chase spent his childhood years in Nephi, Utah, where his father was a dry land wheat farmer and a businessman. In 1959 their family moved to Salt Lake City and settled in the Holladay area. He served a full-time mission in the Central British (England Central) Mission from 1968 to 1970. He returned home and married Deborah Johnsen in 1971. They are the parents of six children—two daughters and four sons—and an ever-expanding number of grandchildren.

He was called to serve as a bishop at the age of twenty-seven in the Sandy Crescent South Stake area of the Salt Lake Valley. He served six years in that capacity and has since served as a high councilor, a stake executive secretary and clerk, and in many other stake and ward callings. Regardless of whatever other callings he has received over the years, one was nearly constant: he has taught Gospel Doctrine classes in every ward he has ever lived in as an adult—for a total of thirty-five years.

Dr. Chase was a well-known media personality on Salt Lake City radio stations in the 1970s. He left on-air broadcasting in 1978 to develop and market computer-based management, sales, and music programming systems to radio and television stations in the United States, Canada, South America, and Australia. After the business was sold in 1984, he supported his family as a media and business consultant in the Salt Lake City area.

Having a great desire to teach young people of college age, he determined in the late 1980s to pursue his doctorate, and he received his PhD in communication from the University of Utah in 1997. He has taught communication courses at that institution as well as at Salt Lake Community College and Dixie State College of Utah for twenty-one years. He is currently a full-time tenured faculty member in the Communication Department at Dixie State College in St. George, Utah.

Concurrently with his academic career, Dr. Chase has served as a volunteer LDS Institute and Adult Education instructor in the CES system since 1994, both in Salt Lake City and St. George, where he currently teaches a weekly Adult Education class for three stakes in the Washington, Utah area. He has also conducted multiple Church history tours and seminars. During these years of gospel teaching, he has developed an extensive library of lesson plans and handouts that are the predecessors to his many gospel study guides.
