15 key Bible chapters
http://home.snu.edu/~hculbert/keychap.htm
These are not necessarily the "15 Best Loved" chapters of the Bible. They may not even be the "15 Most Well Known" chapters. One hesitates to even call them the "15 Most Significant" chapters.
These are 15 chapters with key scriptural events and themes. At Southern Nazarene University, we think a beginning student of the Bible should be familiar with them.
Old Testament chapters
Genesis 1-3: Creation, Fall, first promise of a Redeemer
"In the beginning"
