Book Synopsis
The Old Testament contains more than two-thirds of the text of the Bible, covers thousands of years of history, and tells the stories of people whose lives still affect world events today. This book is part of a course taught by the author that describes the ten historical periods in the Old Testament and provides an overview of each book in the Old Testament. It covers the main events and characters in the Old Testament, identifies the purposes and themes of each Old Testament book, and discusses significant passages from each book.
From Genesis to Malachi, the Old Testament reveals God through the stories, writings, and prophecies that were part of ancient Israel. This Student Outline summarizes the material covered in the course, presenting the story of the Old Testament in a chronological format and helping students better understand how the Old Testament relates to each of our lives today.
