About the Book

This may change the way you look at the Bible—and at history!

Sometimes it seems there’s history/archeology and then there’s the Bible. . .and never the two shall meet. Not anymore! This beautiful Bible organizes Scripture in the order the events happened. For example, when you read the account of David’s life on the run from Saul (who wanted to kill him) from 1 Samuel, you’ll also find Psalm 57, written by David about that very experience.

But there’s so much more: The Chronological Study Bible explains what was going on in the rest of the world while the Bible people were going about their business. Want to know what was going on in the Bible in Cleopatra’s day? Like maps? Timelines? Pictures? Nuggets of information on daily life, food, politics, and more in Bible times? The Chronological Study Bible has it all.

Even better, it’s not all stern and stuffy. There’s a section on “The Old-Time Bread Machine” in Judges 9 which describes an OT king’s death: “He died because a household appliance was dropped on his head.” You’ll learn what it meant to be betrothed in Mary and Joseph’s time—and what Joseph stood to lose by ‘putting Mary away quietly’ instead of demanding a public divorce. (And what that says about him. Fortunately for all of us, he didn’t do either.)

It’s a beautiful, colorful volume—and the Scripture is from the New King James Version, which is beautiful and colorful (and easy to understand) as well.

But don’t take our word for it. Check it out for yourself!
