I know many of us are having a difficult time locating the book of Oxford First Ancient History but I was wondering if someone would be willing to give us a subject matter for each lesson division on the Genesis-Deut book. For example: what subject matter is addressed in ch. 2a. It would be helpful to the rest of us so we can supplement! I recently bought the Oxford Children’s Anxient History Volume 1. Thanks!
The Module lessons will tell you what the subject is, and when to use it. Also, the lessons are just numbered in the Modules. The first mod. covers a lot of Bible history before you start the Oxford book. Missingtheshire has compiled a list pf chapters and subheadings from the Oxford book. I took that list and marked which chapters were used in the modules so that anyone without the book could find substitutes on those topics until they did find an Oxford book. So here it is… and I hope that it answers your question. =) This list is for Modules 1-3.
