Outline Studies in the Old Testament for Bible Teachers

Designed for Sunday school educators, this guide gathers a full year’s worth of Old Testament material into one handy volume. It walks readers through the ancient lands, peoples, and worship practices that shape the biblical narrative, beginning with a clear picture of the region’s geography—from the Caspian Sea to the Dead Sea and the surrounding mountain ranges. The author also weaves recent scholarship on chronology into each lesson, helping teachers present a refreshed, accurate timeline.

Beyond the maps and dates, the book explores the Old Testament as literature, showing how its stories, poetry, and law interconnect. An added section explains how the Bible itself was compiled, giving teachers useful background for answering common questions. With concise outlines and thoughtful commentary, the text aims to deepen understanding and confidence for anyone leading a classroom study of Israel’s early history.
