Introduction

The Old Testament is full of events and characters that play out the story of Israel as a people with many flaws and of God who loved them and tried to direct them. The New Testament has fewer of these events and characters but, of course it has the central character, Jesus, and the events of his life.

In this lesson we will look at some of these characters and events and consider their place in the Bible
