New Oxford Annotated Bible Orientation

I am using the New Oxford Annotated Bible, 4th edition, for my Old Testament course at LSU. To help students orient themselves to the features of the study Bible, I have designed the following exercise. Since NOAB is so commonly used as a basic text book for biblical studies, I decided to make the exercise available for everyone to use.

Look for review comments here in the near future.

Old Testament Canon Lists

One would think a chart of the book order of the major Old Testament canons would be easy to find. I have about 70 or 80 books introducing the Bible and the Old Testament, but couldn't find one therein. The closest I found did not have the LXX listed. Likewise, I couldn't find a barebones chart on the internet.

So I made one myself, and you can access it and distribute, no strings attached. If you notice anything needed correction, let me know.
