Test Oldtament

[dreamer_easy]

One of these JW mags quotes a guy who says that "knowledge of the Old Testament is fading fast among Christians and has virtually vanished in popular culture". So! Test yourself, Christians and others on my flist - without peeking at other comments, see if you can comment with five events from the OT. (If you actually do Bible study, you're disqualified! :-)

The story of Genesis
The story of Moses in the basket
The story of Noah and the flood
The story of Joseph and his coat
The story of Cain & Abel

I seem to remember the ones that are most accessible to children. Probably because there was always a "Bible Stories" hard back book in the doctor's waiting room with luscious illustrations in them. Seriously, it was like the Old Testament took place in Narnia.

Maybe some day, I'll find one of those books. I think they still show up in doctor's offices. Usually buried under Highlights magazine. I think they used to have cards inside to be able to get your own copy or some such...

'Uncle Albert' series wasn't it?

I'm not sure. They were always about an inch thick, with a blue hard back cover. The cover usually featured Jesus surrounded by adoring children and animals (at least one cuddly snow white lamb!) as he was about to tell a story.
