The Greenleaf Guide To Old Testament History

(4 customer reviews)

This book outlines a reading program which will take you through the history of Israel by reading through the historical books from Genesis to Nehemiah chronologically. Old Testament history is divided into 196 Bible readings (approximately 1 chapter each) along with some suggestions of how to cover the material and keep it interesting. For each reading there are a series of questions to help you focus on the significant details. There are also a number of background notes and some suggestions for further study. This book won't answer all your questions, but it will give you a well-thought out program of reading and studying the history of Israel. It is intended as a first history course for the early elementary grades (though many parents are using it with high school students) - background for the study of Egypt and other ancient cultures in the Greenleaf history series.

The Greenleaf Guide to the Old Testament Oct 24, 2008
This is our 2nd copy of the Greenleaf Guide to the Old Testament. We wore the first one out after about 8 years. So we are fans. It gives you great questions that are a great starting point discussions. It helps the kids think through what we've just read.

Good study designed for young students Aug 05, 2003
My 8 year old son and I read through the Old Testament's historical books using this book as our guide to discussion topics. The Shearer's have presented some interesting questions and comments on the Old Testament scriptures and I found myself learning almost as much as my son did! I would recommend this book for parents with children in elementary school, or even older.

Old Testament The Painless Way! May 03, 2000
As we have used this guide through the past year I would say that it is fairly simple & straight forward in style. It uses a question format that's easy to use. Read a few passages of bible text & pose the questions from the guide. Even our 4 & 6 year olds like to give a try at answering the questions though it is geared to older children!

Excellent guide to help teach children ancient history. Nov 14, 1999
The Greenleaf Guide is an excellent resource to help you teach your children ancient history and Old Testament history. For each lesson, you read a chapter or so of the Old Testament. The guide then gives you questions to discuss, explanations of the historical setting, as well as suggestions for how to handle "complicated" readings from the Bible. The guide is helpful even if you want to read it to study Old Testament history yourself.
