Bible Stories for Classroom and Assembly - Old Testament

This collection of 50 Bible stories are selected from the different types of Old Testament writings.

The book includes an introductory section looking at concerns teachers sometimes express about telling Bible stories in school - questions about truth, how a questioning attitude can be compatible with respect for the Bible as a sacred text, and the relevance of including Bible stories in the curriculum of the 1990s.

Notes for teachers outlining the context of each story, plus insights into how it might be understood are included.

For each story, Angela Horton suggests discussion points and activities across the curriculum, as well as within religious education.

Attainment Targets and National Curriculum themes are specified throughout.
