Synopsis

Lessons in Old Testament History explains the story of Israel in a way that complements the Bible.

It’s designed as a practical text-book for classroom use, helping readers read the biblical narrative with clear context and guidance.

The book aims to illuminate how the Old Testament reveals God’s work through a people chosen to prepare the world for a broader revelation. It discusses how to teach religion and morality alongside history, and it notes how scholars view the Bible’s origins and composition. Practical features include cross-references to biblical chapters and excerpts pulled into the text to aid study. The author also addresses chronology with careful, cautious dating to fit classroom use.

  • Structured lessons that connect biblical events to wider historical context without overwhelming detail
  • Clear guidance on using the text with or apart from the Bible, with notes on source material
  • Discussion of how language and names, such as the name Jehovah, shape understanding
  • Practical remarks on teaching approach, chronology, and the progressive nature of revelation

Ideal for students and teachers seeking a reliable, school-friendly approach to Old Testament history.
