Recommended for Grades 9-10

This Student Exercise Book complements the Teacher Manual with the same title, providing an introduction to the study of the Old Testament and enabling students to understand key moments in salvation history.  Students acquire basic skills necessary for a well-grounded Catholic interpretation of biblical material.  Students work with the actual biblical texts rather than simply read about passages under consideration, and they see the connections between the truths of the Hebrew Scriptures and their own lives.  Opportunities for reflection and self-assessment are provided. 
 
The text consists of six parts: Beginning to Study the Hebrew Scriptures; In the Beginning; Journey towards the Promised Land; National Growth; The Prophets; and The Writings. 
 
Exercise books can serve as records of individual faith journeys.  Activities stimulate class involvement, explore real-life experience, promote biblical and doctrinal literacy, foster creative thinking, teach community commitment, invite spiritual growth and prayer, and present service as essential to discipleship.  This resource is to be used in conjunction with the Teacher Manual by the same title.
