Questions on the Holy Scriptures: to Be Answered in Writing, as Exercises at School or in the Course of Private Instruction

"Questions On The Holy Scriptures: To Be Answered In Writing, As Exercises At School Or In The Course Of Private Instruction" by John Bullar is a 1846 educational Bible-study manual aimed at enhancing biblical literacy through structured inquiry. This volume begins with a note on the objectives of teaching Scripture to children, followed by an Introduction that emphasizes the importance of reading the Bible with prayer and disciplined study. It features a comprehensive sequence of questions organized by each biblical book, starting from Genesis. These questions guide students through themes such as creation, early humanity, covenant relationships, the laws given at Sinai, the histories of Israel, the prophets, and the life and teachings of Jesus. The prompts encourage students to locate places on maps, recall chronology, and reflect on moral and spiritual meanings. Serving as both a school exercise book and a private instruction aid, this text fosters the articulation of understanding in writing, comparison of passages, and connection of Scriptural narratives to practical conduct, promoting honest inquiry, memory, and pious discipline in young readers.
