The Old Testament in an Hour!

This interesting and lively lesson is a visual, written, spoken and tasty opportunity to help students learn the different sections of the Old Testament and remember the location of individual books in each section. Interesting and unique word memory aids are used to help students remember the names and order of books as they gain confidence in navigating the Old Testament

The five sections of the Old Testament are:

• The 5 Books of Law,
• The 12 Books of History,
• The 5 Books of Poetry,
• The 5 Books of the Major Prophets, and
• The 12 Books of the Minor Prophets.

Look in the Book: 
Students are to read John 6, 7, and 8. Stories and topics include: Jesus feeds the 5,000 people, Jesus walks on water, Jesus forgives the woman caught in adultery, and Jesus is called the light of the world. 

Discover it Daily: 
Students reinforce what they learned through the lesson as they find and read well-known passages from each section:  the Ten Commandments from the books of Law, the story of Ruth from the History section, a chapter in Proverbs and Psalms in the Poetry section, verses from Isaiah 40 in the Major Prophets, and Jonah from the Minor Prophets. They test themselves as they complete a blank chart of “The Books of the Old Testament,” using their notes if necessary.
