I have a much smaller-scale struggle with the same material as we're going through the Old Testament lessons in Sunday school. I struggle on getting the right balance between "Bible as information" and "Bible as lifeline" and "word of God as the words we live", the right balance between "Old Testament has a meaning" and "Old Testament foreshadows". I've been taking some liberties that probably aren't open in an academic setting with more of a set syllabus, like flipping back and forth between the study of the Law and the study of what Christ and the NT writers said about the Law, between the Temple Service and what the book of Hebrews says about the Temple service. I think when I do Psalms (up next) we're going to be studying prayer, thanksgiving, and penitance at the same time we study the Psalms. The Purim play for Esther is a great idea. I can almost see a whole class doing all the "yea!" and "boo!" when the hero and villain come on set. I don’t know if I have “advice”.
