Gospels & Acts Description (sample)
Find it on Amazon. |
It begins with the Gospel of John as it is written in a more theological than a logical or chronological style. Following are the three synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, which are compiled to give a complete, but not redundant reading experience. The plan ends with the first part of Acts. The questions are primarily written to give students an idea of what Jesus was telling the people. They are not meant to be all encompassing or theologically comprehensive in nature. They are meant to get students thinking about what they are reading and what is happening in each account.
The first page contains information about the gospels and their writers describing how they are similar, different, and their intended audience. There are also both student and parent instructions as well as recommended implementation and tips on the art of leading discussion.
There is also a cool project, Bible Culture in the New Testament, included in this workbook! Students have the opportunity to
gain a deeper understanding of the culture of the time by researching and
presenting a cultural topic they find interesting such as: food and cooking,
fashion, music, schools/learning, government, etc. A list of options is in the
appendix.
This book is also available on this website in pdf form. It is $75 and can be photocopied as needed for each member in a class.

Reading them in order, students will gain a
better understanding of how the smaller stories create the bigger story of
God’s plan of salvation for his people, and an overall understanding of
the story of God's relationship with the Israelites. This book also contains both student and parent instructions as well as recommended implementation and tips on the art of leading discussion.
There is a cool project, an Old Testament timeline, for students in this book. Each week they study, they create a timeline. They can create a book individually or create a wall timeline. Each week a new piece of the Old Testament story will be posted down a hallway so that by the end of the year anyone who walks down the hall will learn about God's love through his relationship with the Israelites.
