Basic Bible Survey O.T.
The many references to the Old Testament by Jesus during His earthly ministry illustrate the importance He placed on knowing the content of the Scriptures. Because Jesus stressed the importance of God's Word to the men He trained, Harvestime International Institute presents "Basic Bible Survey" as part of its training program to equip men and women to reach their nations with God's message.
"Basic Bible Survey" introduces the Bible and discusses its translations and various versions. It presents an overview of the Biblical history, geography, and life in Bible times. The course provides an outline for each book of the Bible and teaches outlining skills for expanding these basic outlines into more detailed studies of God's Word.

This is a very easy to read, well laid out Bible Survey of the New Testment. I like the style of the material, a chapter for each book, each chapter is broken up into three sections, the main chapter itself, followed by some self help questions and then well presented “For Further Study Section” for those who want to go into the subject with more detail.
The questions are based on the chapter only so the book becomes a vital resource for later, well done

Really enjoyed this subject. Easy to understand and complete. I completed this subject after many years of bible study in my Christian school. I thought I knew a lot about the Old Testament but the survey seriously strengthened my knowledge and understanding. I realized there is most of the Old Testament that I need to go and study. It is awesome to know why God wrote each book of the bible and understand what God was doing when He was constructing the Old Testament as well as key context that I maybe didn’t understand fully before hand. Strongly recommend.
