The Old and New Testament

The Bible stories in this course have been taken from both the Old and New Testament. There are popular stories from each that provide important lessons that make them valuable reading. From the Old Testament, we will learn stories that focus on creation, Noah, and the 10 commandments, among others. From the New Testament, we will learn about stories that cover Jesus, the Good Samaritan, and others. 

Pulling material from both the Old and New Testaments will help you learn a variety of stories and lessons. Some you may already be familiar with, such as the birth of Jesus, and others may be lesser known to you, such as the Man Born Blind. Whether you are already familiar with each story or not, it will serve a purpose in helping you review or learn anew. 

Narrowing It Down

When it comes to Bible stories, there are so many to choose from. They are all so good and well-worth reading. It is difficult to narrow down which ones to focus on, but alas, it must be done! With this in mind, in the following lessons you will go on to learn about the Bible stories that we have selected for this course. We are not saying they are the absolute best or most popular ones, but they were all selected to be a part of this course because they offer something interesting, valuable, and unique. 

Narrowing it down to fitting so many Bible stories into one course can be challenging. While we would like to include them all in here, we simply cannot. We hope you will agree that we have chosen a good variety of stories that will be both interesting and valuable to you. We believe we have created a great selection of them and we hope you do, too.
