Any advise on how to get a Bullet Point Outline for a book of the Bible?
Hi All,
Ive just completed teaching the Pentateuch to a small group of men. I want to do a review to help pull it together. Is there a way to list all the topics in an outline or something? Im thinking of like an index or something? This will allow me to scan through touching upon each item in order.
Thank you,
Jason

Hi Jason
This is the sort of thing which you would find in most "introductions"
"The Bible Guide" for example has:
Do you have any resources like this?
Of the Faithlife Study Bible has:
Does this help at all?

Thank you Graham,
I do have the first resource. Those could definitly be helpful. I did locate this http://books.bibleoutline.org/genesis/5.htm. Its the format I was looking for. It would be great if I could do it all in Logos.
Either way it will save me a lot of time. Thank you again Graham.

Jason,
You could:
1. Write down your own headings and subheadings that you used and put them in bullet point format so it'll match what YOU taught.
2. You can use the Bible Guide's outlines that Graham suggested, just add the bullet points.
3. You can look up some Study Bibles (e.g. ESV Study Notes). They have some succinct outlines in Roman Numeral form. Just high light the first Roman Numeral and it'll automatically highlight the rest; then go to your bullet point format, click on it and it will convert from Roman Numeral to Bullet Point.
Or 4. Some Bible Handbooks or Surveys have other succinct or detailed outlines that can be used, just switch the Roman Numerals to Bullet Points.
Hope that helps!

Notes now has both bullets and indentation to build your own outline.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Logos has the following resources:
Both are very good. Nelson's tends to stick more to relatively simple outlines that follow the text, whilst the Outline Bible tends to use alliteration (notice 'brute creature' vs 'blessed creature', and 'image of God' vs 'instructions from God'). It provide outlines that might preach well, sometimes 're-arranging' a chapter thematically so that it fits the outline. Nelson's doesn't have a Bible index, which is annoying, but I like them both. Here are screenshots of Genesis 1:

I should also mention that the Sermon Starter Guide has an Outline section, that may help you to find the sorts of outlines that Graham suggests. In my library, it finds several useful outlines:
