In the 2011 Sunday School classes, youth 14-18 and adults will study the New Testament. Below are some of the great resources provided by the Church to help in your study of the New Testament.

Online Scriptures. If you haven’t experienced the upgraded scriptures.lds.org, you need to see it. Learn about the new features, such as personalized study tools that let you take notes, highlight/underline verses, tag verses, and save them to a folder. You can also share your favorite verses with friends. More enhancements to the study tools will be released soon. Mobile scriptures applications provide access to the scriptures on various mobile devices. This upgraded site is available in English, Spanish, and German. The previous scriptures site is in an additional 17 languages

Each of the four books has downloadable text, audio, and video. You may want to consider getting the printed books or the DVD set as Christmas gifts for children.
