Foreword:

This workbook has been prepared as a companion-book to "Old Testament History in Brief." For its proper use by teachers and pupils the following should be kept in mind:

1. Like the question-book, it is designed mainly to emphasize the mere facts of Old Testament history.

2. It is purposely designed to induce the child to look up many Scripture passages. The questions as a rule cannot be answered accurately without looking up the exact word or words required.

3. On the whole, this written work supplements the material of the question-book by filling in some of the details of the history covered in it and by supplying additional information. It stands to reason that even here, however, not all of Old Testament history, but only the highlights, can be covered.

4. The teacher can choose his own method, i.e., either require that this written work be handed in weekly, or treat the material in the catechism class discussion, allowing the pupils to check their papers. The author has found that the latter method was frequently successful, provided that the written work was then made the occasion for more detailed discussion and explanation.
