A New Approach to Studying the Covenants of Our Fathers: A Harmony of Genesis, Moses and Abraham

After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Apostle Peter declared to his people: Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. (Acts 3:25) We today are also the children or descendants of the Old Testament prophets. While considering ways of making the covenants of "our fathers" as recorded in the books of Genesis, Moses and Abraham easier to understand, a comprehensive harmony structure and a distinguishing format was devised. It was determined to include all the Joseph Smith Translation (JST) changes. The text formatting has been enhanced by adding wider margins for notes, two type sizes, and spaces between textual subdivisions. These contextual enhancements are designed to help the reader visualize the context, speaker and doctrine of the scripture narrative. This harmony divides the text of Genesis, Moses and Abraham into 186 events or episodes
