Letter to Student
Dear Student
Welcome to Old Testament Survey—Part 1! During the next twelve sessions we will be
working our way through the records of the major events and characters of the Old Testament.
The study of Old Testament history need not be the “ dry-as-dust ” activity it is sometimes made
out to be, for it confronts us with the mighty deeds and words of the God “ to Whom we must
give account ” (Hebrews 4:13 [NIV], emphasis added). For the Christian, therefore, who wants
to hear God’s voice amid the clamour of this age, the study of the Old Testament can never be
purely academic.
But there is a second reason for this. In the Old Testament we meet people just like ourselves.
True, their customs and culture may in many ways be totally foreign to us; but they have the
same struggles, feel the same joys and sorrows, and respond to the same crises in ways that are
typical of people in every age and place. That is why the Old Testament can speak to us with
such directness and freshness.
My prayer for you as you embark upon this module is that your love for the Lord and this
portion of His Word will be deepened, and that you will catch the heartbeat of the God Who
directs, delivers and, where necessary, disciplines His people.
May God richly bless you as you apply yourself to the study of this formative and indispensable
part of His Word.
Yours in His Service
Peter G. Howe

You will observe that the module material includes frequent Scripture references.
Students are strongly urged to read the material with Bible in hand, and to refer to the

the Workbook for your assistance—wait till you have completed the quiz
before looking at the answers.
Your Workbook is to be submitted for checking that the work has been
completed.
Extra Notes regarding your Workbook
In studying the Old Testament it is easy to get stuck in a mass of detail. As
the module is meant to give an overview, it is best not to try to find answers
for everything. When reading the set passages, try to note the broad themes
running through the narrative.
Old Testament Survey, Part 1 Answers to Quiz Questions
Student Workbook 84
If you have time and access to reference books such as Bible handbooks,
dictionaries and commentaries, you may find it helpful to look them up. But
remember this is a “survey” module so beware of becoming too involved
with detail.

8. Ezra 4:6-23 interrupts the chronological sequence, but has been inserted at this
point because it also deals with opposition to Jewish building projects.
Ahasuerus (Ezra 4:6), commonly identified with Xerxes, reigned 486-465 BC.
Artaxerxes I (Ezra 4:7) reigned 465-424 BC. At verse 24, the writer resumes the
story of verses 1-5. “ The second year of the reign of Darius ” (Ezra 4:24) was
about 520 BC.
a) For about how long, therefore, was the work on the temple at a standstill?
(compare with Ezra 3:8)
b) Apart from opposition, what was another reason for the people’s loss of
enthusiasm for the project? (see Haggai 1:2-4)

The distressing news that Nehemiah received (Nehemiah 1:3) was probably caused
by the episode recorded in Ezra 4:7-23, rather than the original destruction in 586 BC

3. There was a delay of 4 months (compare Nehemiah 1:1 with 2:1) before
Nehemiah brought his request to the king. His hesitation may have been
because his request would require the king to reverse his decree mentioned in
Ezra 4:21. But the decree itself left the way open for that to occur.
His fear (Nehemiah 2:2) was because he had probably broken court etiquette in
letting his grief be seen in the king’s presence. Hence his urgent prayers for
help to ‘ the God of heaven ’ (2:4)! What other passages in Nehemiah show his
frequent recourse to prayer?
