Old Testament Survey


Introduction. Originally created for a high school-level Bible study class, this downloadable 30 lesson series surveys the Old Testament books in chronological order (when the content of the book most likely occurred or when the various letters were likely written). The lessons consist only of a scripture assignment with questions to guide students in their study of the associated scriptures using their BIble and Bible study aids.  There is no supplemental reading material.  As a result, this survey is intended for a more mature audience (e.g., high school and above).  
Picture
The questions typically focus on:
  • The historical context of the book
  • The overall themes of the book
  • An outline of the book
  • New Testament references to the book
  • Applicable lessons for Christians today
In addition, "bonus" questions are provided to encourage deeper study in selected areas.

Note.  These lessons were originally designed to follow another lesson survey that concentrated on the Major and Minor Prophets (also available on our website).  Consequently, this survey does not go into as much depth when discussing these books. If you have a need for an Old Testament survey that combines both areas into an integrated whole, please contact us using the "Ask Question" menu choice.
