Little History of the Old Testament for Homeschoolers and Educators
Little Timeline of the Old Testament
Focus: Timeline and timeline pieces to teach about the very early events of the Old Testament. This timeline offers 28 different events from the Old Testament focusing mostly on the first few books of the Bible. Originally created as a companion resource to the Old Testament portion of Child's Bible History by F.J. Knecht, the book does not need to be used to appreciate this resource. This timeline is not only very useful for homeschoolers, but it is also perfect for religious education classes, CCD classes or Bible study use.
As an extra help scripture passages have been included on each of the pieces and the instruction file includes a scripture reference sheet as well. Find matching notebooking sheets for the events below on our Old Testament Notebooking Sheets page,
