NEW TESTAMENT
BIBLE STORIES
BOOK III
(For Beginners)
REV. C. HANKO
Adopted for use in the Protestant
Reformed Churches
by the Synod of 1981
PREFACE
This is the third in the series of
catechism books which deal with the stories of the Bible for children from the ages of six
to eight. The first two books covered the
history of the Old Testament, while this one treats the history of the New Testament.
Each lesson deals with only one phase
of the history, rather than entering into detail on all the events. Also, the facts of history are stressed, with the
significance brought out, whenever possible, toward the end of the lesson. The teacher should use his own discretion in
determining how much other material should be included in the classroom discussion.
The same division of the material is
used as in “Suffer Little Children,” by Mrs. Gertrude Hoeksema, in order to
create a certain amount of harmony between the instruction in the school and in the
catechism wherever both books are used.
The questions and answers are
considerably longer in this revised book than in the previous one. We recommend that the younger children learn as
much of the lesson as possible, and the older children learn the whole lesson.
May our gracious, covenant God use
this material for the instruction and spiritual edification of our children. From Him is all our expectation, and to Him alone
must be the glory of our lives.
Rev. C. Hanko
