Category Description for Bible Study/By Book/Old Testament

This category is for sites which have Bible studies for Old Testament books only.

For the purposes of this category, we have defined the Old Testament as those books which are accepted as canonical by Catholics, Protestants, and the Orthodox. Since the Catholics and Orthodox accept all the books that the Protestants do, this amounts to the list of Protestant Old Testament books. Books of the Old Testament are:

Genesis ~ Exodus ~ Leviticus ~ Numbers ~ Deuteronomy ~ Joshua ~ Judges ~ Ruth ~ 1 Samuel ~ 2 Samuel ~ 1 Kings ~ 2 Kings ~ 1 Chronicles ~ 2 Chronicles ~ Ezra ~ Nehemiah ~ Esther ~ Job ~ Psalms ~ Proverbs ~ Ecclesiastes ~ Song of Solomon ~ Isaiah ~ Jeremiah ~ Lamentations ~ Ezekiel ~ Daniel ~ Hosea ~ Joel ~ Amos ~ Obadiah ~ Jonah ~ Micah ~ Nahum ~ Habakkuk ~ Zephaniah ~ Haggai ~ Zechariah ~ Malachi

Books in the Catholic and Orthodox Old Testament which are not found in the Protestant Bible will be found in the Deuterocanonical category.
