Book Review

I recently received Chronological Guide to the Bible to review for Thomas Nelson's Book Sneeze program.

Publisher's Description:

Readers will see the people, places, and events of the Bible come alive with this guide that will enhance your study with any Bible. The Chronological Guide to the Bible's colorful pages guide readers step-by-step through the nine epochs of biblical history -- the same ones used in the best-selling Chronological Study Bible. Customers will maximize their understanding as they experience God's word in dynamic historical order, no matter which translation they choose to use. Dig deeper into the cultures and people of biblical times with The Chronological Guide to the Bible.

My Review:

I probably should offer a small disclaimer first. I love history and I love learning what was going on historically during Biblical times. So this book was right up my alley!

This book gives a historical and geographical picture of each of the nine epochs into which the books of the Bible are divided. Each epoch gives a chronological reading guide and an outline of the books covered in that epoch.

The book is compatible with whichever translation you use. I usually use my Literary Study Bible (ESV). I really like that I could study a book from a literary perspective using the LSB and then look in the Chronological Guide for an in-depth historical look.
