Synopsis

This six-volume set contains a multi-year course of study with a uniquely Swedenborgian view of the Bible.

Originally written for Sunday school teachers, the course is divided into five age groups: primary (ages 6–8), junior (ages 9–11), intermediate (ages 12–14), senior (ages 15–17) and adult. The lessons from each Bible story are geared toward the life experience and level of understanding of that particular age group, and Dole gives practical advice in each lesson for helping children—and adults!—relate to the Bible. Each lesson contains an overview of the points to be discussed, notes for parents and teachers, text with discussion questions for each age group, related readings from Swedenborg, and questions that review and test students’ understanding.

Volume 2 begins with the birth of Moses and includes lessons about the ten plagues, crossing the Red Sea, the Ten Commandments, the golden calf, and other familiar stories. It ends with the story of Samson in the book of Judges.

Anita S. Dole (1889–1973) graduated from the University of Chicago. She was first exposed to Swedenborg while teaching at Urbana College in Urbana, Ohio, and joined the church in 1917. In 1919 she married the Reverend Louis A. Dole, and moved with him to Fryeburg, Maine, where he served as pastor to a New Church congregation. Among a wealth of volunteer positions, she taught Sunday school at the church, developing the course that would be published as Bible Study Notes. She lived most of her adult life in Fryeburg and Bath, Maine.
