Brett C's Reviews > Old Testament Student Manual: 1 Kings - Malachi

This is a really nice and well-organized student manual prepared by the Church Educational System and published by the LDS Church. The book starts out with colored maps (Old Testament Canaan, the Old Testament World, the Empire of David and Solomon, Kingdoms of Israel, Judah, and the Mediterranean), flow charts of chronology, coinage comparisons, standard volumes/measurements/weights, and the Jewish calendar.

This volume gives aid to understanding the Old Testament. Each chapter is a segment that includes an introduction, notes and commentary, and points to ponder.

The book is obviously written from an LDS stance because many reference and back-up evidence come from the Church. These sources include the Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, Lectures of Faith, etc. They also reference LDS figures like Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, James E. Talmage, Ezra Taft Benson, and Bruce R. McConkie to name a few.

I would recommend this book to aid anyone wanting to gain more understanding of the Old Testament. Thanks!
