Old Testament Study Aids

Religion 101
Last updated 7/28/07

The following list set ups links to the various supplementary materials to be utilized in Religion 101 classes. Here they are grouped by category. In order to know exactly when they will be used in class discussion, go to the topics list of either Religion 101. In the schedule of topics for each class period you will find a link to the specific handout material related to that topic of discussion. It will be a part of the class discussion for that session.

Be sure to check periodically the Old Testament Bible Studies page for detailed study of individual Old Testament passages. These are six to ten page intensive studies that have been presented as a Sunday School lesson at First Baptist Church, Shelby, NC, where I teach a men's Sunday School class. Occasionally the passage will overlap one of the Analysis Paper assigned passages, and the studies are done following the same essential guidelines as the Analysis Paper assignment, only at greater depth of study.

*Esther in the Septuagint has six extra paragraphs inserted at various places. In the Vulgate these are all removed to the end of the book. English versions omit them entirely, or remove them to an Apocrypha section.

**Daniel in the Septuagint has The Story of Susanna inserted at the beginning, the Song of the Three Children inserted in chapter 3, and the story of Bel and the Dragon added to the end. In the Vulgate Susanna is moved to before Bel. English versions omit them entirely, or remove them to an Apocrypha section.
