Maybe they read your comment. :) You’ve probably already heard, Ben, but JS is the manual for 2008 and 2009. Maybe they read your comment. :)

The aspects that Dave mentions would be too obvious since so many are familiar with the source material. I don’t think that they can do a P/RS lesson manual for Joseph Smith.

I think if they ever do Joseph Smith, they'll release another book in the same format as currently used in SS instead of the Deseret Book version of TPJS.

(Where I honestly think that for most teachers anyone who did the reading will get little out of the lesson) I also honestly think that using B. H. Robert's texts or a Nibley text would lead to *horrible* lessons. I think that those intellectually minded need to realize that not everyone thinks the way we do.

One of the many MANY reasons I enjoy SS over Elder's Quorum and think they should switch hours. nice Dave>:) I think you make a good point, though.

Roberts' Seventy's Course books. I also like some of the manuals from the 1950s, including Nibley's An Approach to the Book of Mormon and James L. Barker's Apostasy from the Divine Church.

Not cut-and-pasted, selectively edited, topically arranged quotes assembled into six-page lessons furnished with uninspiring discussion questions? It's amazing our priesthood forbears didn't just apostatize by lesson five each year. Just think of all the uncorrelated ideas they were exposed to by reading entire books!
