Excerpt from A Graded Course of Study for the Sunday School, Vol. 1: Herbrew Beginnings Old Testament Narratives

You will notice that our Bible is divided into two parts, called the Old Testament and the New Testament. The New Testament tells us about the life of Jesus and how his disciples spread his teachings. The Old Testament relates the history of the Jewish people, and what they thought about God before the time of Jesus. It begins with legends and traditions of the earliest heroes of the Hebrew race.

All nations whose history runs back for many centuries have such legends of their early days and delight to tell them. For instance, the Greeks had legends of Hector, of Achilles, of Hercules; the Romans, legends of Romulus and Remus, and of Horatius, who kept the bridge; and England has its legends of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.
