How to Use This Book

Old Testament 101 is a guide to studying the Old Testament in chronological order by reading one chapter per day, five days per week. This study is suitable for all ages, from middle school through adults.

There is great benefit in studying the Bible in an orderly way, as opposed to a random passage each day or even a needs-based study (for example, helping you through a particularly difficult situation). If you learn to study the Bible in a sequential way, you will eventually find what God's Word says about every conceivable human situation.

In this study you will have five days of readings each week, reading usually one chapter per day. This leaves the weekends to catch up on anything that was missed during the week. This study is a comprehensive overview in which some books have representative chapters chosen for continuity, while others will be studied in their entirety. In other words, not every chapter of the Old Testament is included for specific study, but I would encourage you to read all of them if you can. In the cases of events repeated in different books, usually only one account is studied.

Each lesson begins with an overview of the week's readings. Sometimes there are questions to consider in the overview that will help your general understanding of the lesson for that week. You may skip the overview, but it can be very beneficial to your understanding of the chapters for the week.

The questions are very straightforward and are designed to be answered in the simplest way. The primary goal is an understanding of God's Word rather than a specific application to your particular circumstances. Practice letting the Holy Spirit apply your day's reading as you meditate throughout the day on what His Word says.

On the "For Further Study" pages, there is a selected key verse(s) to think about, and blank lines in which you may write a prayer, other passages that stand out to you, or some other aspect of the study that you may want to remember.
