Excellent for homeschool middle school. Used in many traditional Catholic homeschool curricula such as Seton and others. There is a workbook to go with it. Perhaps the other reviewer needs a little more catechesis as to why the Church does or doesn't do modern things.

This review is from: Bible History: A Textbook of the Old and New Testaments for Catholic Schools (Paperback)

This book is an excellent bible survey. The other reviewer obviously does not understand the Supernatural nature of the Church, or even that this is a book about bible history - not contemporary liberal dissident temper tantrums. For what it claims to be, the book is more than adequate, and in the survey method it is excellent as stated. The authors are short on opine and long on generalities regarding biblical names, dates, occurances and the like - of which one would expect in the class of a high school level bible survey and history. Its strength is in its nature - most adults do not have even a modicum of biblical experience and would benefit greatly with a book of this very sort. It supplies the necessary information for the average Catholic to grasp the bible in its entirety and to supplement a direct read-through of the entire bible. Thorough in its scope of the subject matter. Again 5 - star excellent !!!!!

I use this Bible History textbook for my middle grade students. I am very pleased with its content and the workbook as well. I find the questions at the end of each section thoroughly reinforce the information given in the textbook. I use the worksheets for quizzes, homework or some extra credit points.
