Zipping Across the Old Testament

Zipping Across the Old Testament will take you through the whole Old Testament in 4 months. You will probably need to read about half an hour of text each day. It is quite a challenge so you might want to do it with a group of friends. You could work as a team with each person taking turns and committing themselves to doing a month of Old Testament and then blogging about/ facebooking/ chatting about their experience. Students from Hamilton are hoping to blog their response for a month each, so come join in. Hopefully at the end of 4 months, you would be able to put familiar Old Testament characters in their context and learn more about how amazing God is.

This is how we hope it will go:
November --Feeling around the Wisdom Books
Reading Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon

December --Marvelling at Prophecy
17 books of Prophecy--Major (longer) and Minor (shorter)

January --Adventuring through History
Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther

February -- Sinking into the 1st five.
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy
