The Chronological Guide to the Bible

The Chronological Guide to the Bible by Thomas Nelson is an adaptation of The Chronological Study Bible. Therefore, if you own that book you most likely will not see any new info in this guide. The Chronological Guide to the Bible lists nine different ages or epochs of the Bible. It gives timelines, short articles, maps, outlines and scripture reading lists in chronological order for each epoch.

Putting together the Bible text in chronological order would be a daunting task especially in the Old Testament. This is where The Chronological Guide to the Bible helps your Bible study the most. For example, if you are studying 1, 2 Samuel and want to read all biblical accounts during that time this guide is helpful. In addition, the timelines and maps are also beneficial. The articles are lacking depth but they fulfill their purpose. If you enjoy Biblical history and want a starting point to study the Scriptures in chronological order then look no further. However, as with all Bible study resources I would recommend using discernment while reading.
