The Promise Unfolds: Old Testament Survey (5 Quarters)

A guided tour of the whole Old Testament in five quarters, from creation to the last of the prophets. The Promise Unfolds surveys all 39 books in 65 lessons for adult Sunday school. Every lesson traces how God's promise moves forward, and each one ends by pointing to Christ.

Every lesson includes:

• The Book at a Glance: the setting, author, and big idea of each book.
• On the Timeline: where the lesson falls in Israel's story.
• Three teaching sections: Scripture reading, fill-in blanks, cross-references, and discussion questions.
• Pointing to Christ: how each book prepares the way for Jesus.
• Living It Out: a practical step for the week.
• Timing: each lesson is timed for about 50 minutes.

The Leader's Guide gives you:

• a preparation checklist and time plan
• suggested wording, with every fill-in answer in bold
• discussion questions with likely answers, and backup prompts for quiet rooms

The Student Guide holds fill-in notes, discussion questions, daily readings, and a take-home question. It is reproducible for use within your congregation, so you buy once and copy for your whole class, every week.
