Old Testament Survey with Thelma English
OTS Grades 8-12 (grade 7 with permission: good readers) 8:30 am-10:30 am THURSDAY
In this one credit class (English, Bible, or Ancient History), students read most of the Old Testament, exploring exegetical
insights and archaeological evidence to understand the OT narrative as a whole. In class PowerPoint presentations,
students will learn a basic outline of ancient history, introductions to each book, and the Hebrew and Greek alphabets to
enable them to use scholarly resources. Weekly topics include Ancient Empire mapping, Dating Abraham, the Tabernacle,
the Temple, the Name of God, Hezekiah’s Tunnel, Shema, Aaronic Blessing, Bethlehem, Jericho, Dating Easter, OT Holy
Days, Dead Sea Scrolls, Assyria, Babylon, and Persia (plus more). Thelma's Master's studies in Exegetical Theology equip
her to strengthen the confidence of young Christians. Parents welcome as space allows.
The 200-page Syllabus compliments weekly Bible readings with additional insight from magazine articles, book excerpts,
outlines, charts, maps, and optional additional audio lessons. Weekly assignments include map making, memorization, mini
biographies, artistic interpretations, charts, and lists. Each two-hour weekly session is full PowerPoint.
