Teachers of Old Testament courses now have another great teaching tool available. The Saint Mary's Press® Old Testament Companion guides students in reading and understanding 70 key Old Testament excerpts from the New American Bible translation. Assign the readings in any order to prepare them for class discussion and projects. Each reading has pop-up definitions along with maps, charts, artwork, and photos. After the students complete a reading, they can check their understanding of it in three ways:

• "Check Your Reading" questions check the students' basic comprehension.
• "Do You Have the Basics?" puzzles check for comprehension through crosswords, word finds, sequencing, and matching activities.
• "Questions for Reflection" challenge the students to think more deeply about the reading's meaning and the implications for us today.
