We should know every Old Testament book since each has a unique message. Thus, click the images below for all the OT books in a free video or PPT format. Each book typically has only one PowerPoint presentation, but they average 371 slides per book. For summaries of each OT book (PPT, sermon manuscripts, Word files, PDF, audio, or videos), look under Bible Exposition. For more detailed studies on specific OT passages, click OT Preaching. You can also take this course as a two-part Internet version called Advanced Studies in the Old Testament at the Internet Biblical Seminary. Please also scroll past the images below to listen to the teaching of each OT book or download 962 pages of handouts to know your OT better. These come in two volumes or as individual Word and PDF files per book.
