The Bible is like the ocean: shallow enough for a child to play safely but so deep scholars can never reach its depths.This book accompanies the Old Testament History publication as a workbook for exploring thoughts and conclusions regarding lessons from the Old Testament. It divides the study into fourteen lessons asking general and specific open-ended questions to inspire thought, meditation, and discussion. It can be used by an individual as well as part of a fourteen-week Bible study or Sunday School class. It helps with grasping the central theme of the Bible (God building His kingdom) within the two-part promise made to a man: (1) "I will make of you a great nation" and (2) "in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed," setting the stage for the Nativity.
