1 Preface This book attempts to supplement the beginning student s study of the Old Testament. As with the Survey textbook, we here define beginning student from our experiences with college freshmen, serious church study groups, and seminary students. Such students range in age from 18 to 80. They are intelligent and willing to learn, but they need guidance and motivation to study a part of the Scriptures often thought irrelevant in our culture. We have tried to write this workbook for the benefit of both students and instructors offering basic questions for further study, mapwork, etc., to facilitate the use of the textbook in the classroom to whatever extent the instructor and students require. It is a workbook challenging the student to think and delve further into the Bible as well as into Old Testament Survey by Paul House and Eric Mitchell. This text also offers flexibility, leaving instructors plenty of room to use it as daily assignments, daily quizzes, or as testing material. We want to thank Paul House for the opportunity to contribute to this project. When I was his Garrett fellow at Southern Seminary, and ever since, he has been a good friend and mentor. We also want to thank our graphics artist Ray Pomerico who contributed all the figures and who did the technical editing of the maps. Eric Mitchell and Archie England How To Use This Workbook For the Student This workbook is designed to assist you on your daily journey through the study of the Old Testament. The questions contained in the following pages have been tried and proven in various classroom settings. Spending the time and effort to answer these workbook questions should enable you not only to learn the Old Testament but also to do well on weekly quizzes and sectional exams. This workbook is designed to be used with both your Bible and Survey textbook open at your side. Our prayer for this effort is that God will bless those who hide His Word in their hearts. May this workbook enable you to show yourself approved as God s worker. For the Instructor This workbook carefully follows the chapters of the revised Old Testament Survey by Paul House and Eric A. Mitchell. It draws questions directly from the text and then, at appropriate junctures, provides an overview of the emerging historical periods of the Old Testament. The workbook is dually designed. It can be used as a student workbook and as testing material for your class. Great care has been given to provide you with a variety of testing material, easily usable in SCANTRON or other formats for both weekly class quizzes or sectional exams. All pages are perforated so they may be used for class assignments as well. With the addition of Topics for Further Study at the end of major sections, we hope this workbook will also promote more engaging classroom discussions from better informed students. Moreover, as teachers we have designed this workbook to be used in whole or in part, based on your individual needs for an accountability tool for the study of the fundamentals of the Old Testament. An answer key is available upon request from the authors. Eric Mitchell and Archie England
