Daniel K. Judd to present BYU devotional Dec. 7

Daniel K Judd, first counselor in the Sunday School General Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and professor of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University, will speak at 11:05 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 7 in the Marriott Center for a campus devotional.

Live broadcasts of the devotional will be available on KBYU-TV (Channel 11), BYU-Television, KBYU-FM (89.1), BYU-Radio and byubroadcasting.org, as well as on campus in the Joseph Smith Building auditorium and the Varsity Theatre in the Wilkinson Student Center.

Speaking on "A Wonderful Flood of Light," Judd says he will emphasize several doctrines unique to the Restoration and their implication to individuals' personal lives.

"Although I won't share which doctrines of the Restoration I will cover, I do hope the BYU community comes to the devotional already thinking about which doctrines are unique to our faith," Judd says.

Judd was called to serve as the first counselor in the Sunday School General Presidency of the Church in April 2004 when he was serving as chair of the Department of Ancient Scripture at BYU.

After receiving his bachelor's degree from Southern Utah University in 1980, Judd went on to receive his master's and doctoral degrees from BYU in 1985 and 1987. He has authored or co-authored 10 books and numerous articles.
