Scripture Sessions on the Old Testament Leader's Guide

Why, some might wonder, do we study the Old Testament? Isn't it enough for a Christian to study and appreciate the New Testament? Christians cannot understand the New Testament and Jesus without understanding the Old Testament. But in itself--and not just because it points to the New Testament--the Old Testament has permanent value. It contains profound teachings, beautiful prayers, and some of the greatest literature ever created. Most important, in the Old Testament we encounter God, its inspiration. The sessions in this manual will help young people to discover the meaning of the Old Testament and encounter God in the process.

The learning processes in Scripture Sessions on the Old Testament are structured around the information in participant workbook. In addition, The Catholic Youth Bible®, Revised serves as a primary resource for Scripture study and research within the learning process.
