Chronological Guide to the Bible



Have you ever wondered how the Bible stacks up in historical order or have you wondered about a specific era that a book or set of books was written? Then The Chronological Guide to the Bible is an extremely good resource if you don’t have a Chronological Bible. The guide is split into nine epoch’s that span from creation to the end of time.
The epochs contain information about the time period with an overview of the time period that is covered (Epoch 1 covers creation through 2000 B.C.). This guide is not a Bible however it is set up to work with whatever translation you may use.
There are many tools and maps that make this a great resource for anyone who studies the Bible. The full color pages help to bring out the maps and the blocking of the text helps to separate the sections. There is even a reading plan that will guide you through your Bible in chronological order. The cultural and archeological information has helped me to understand more about the times that the Bible was written, this will lead to a new understanding to the context for which each book was written.
I would recommend this guide to all who want to learn more about the time periods that each book of the Bible was written. If you get a chance to read the Bible in chronological order it will help you get a new understanding of how things happened.
