The Chronological Guide to the Bible

I have recently finished reading The Chronological Guide to the Bible. This is a non-fiction book that can be utilized with any translation of the Bible. As the title describes, the book is a guide to the Bible. It works similar to a Manners and Customs book or a commentary on various portions from the scripture. The goal of the book is to put the information in chronological order. I do have to say that I appreciated that in the introduction it is mentioned that they cannot know for sure if the books were written the exact order that they are presented. They do a good job at categorizing the information and making it approachable. As a book of the bible is introduced, it is given a brief outline for the book itself. There were many bits of information that I had never thought about before, and others that I found fascinating. All in all, I had been looking for a book like this for several years, and was very happy to find it in a high quality full color book. The only addition I would have appreciated would be an index that would allow someone to find specific portions quicker. I first and foremost appreciated the information in the book, and could have enjoyed it just as well if it had not been in “chronological order.”

I received a copy for free from Booksneeze.com in return for reviewing it on my blog.
