Better Understanding With Chronological Bible

By Eliza Mendoza


Biblical study is confusing especially when you have to peruse through different books. Christians have a chance to understand how the events occurred by reading the chronological bible. This is a book that has compiled all the events in both testament and arranged them the way they happened. All recordings about prophets and the salvation story in the New Testament are written in an orderly manner.

Many people have been reading from Genesis to Revelation the way the books were arranged. Another reading option is tackling each testament at a time. Historic reading is where you read the books according to when they were written. Reading using a particular order allows you to have a unique experience of the reality of Christian life. The message becomes clearer.

Each publisher has offered a different version even if the order is the same. In no specific order of priority, the common ones are King James, Good News, New Standard Version and New International Version. There are other editions available in multiple languages. This has made the scripture accessible to larger populations. The presentation and language make it easier to understand for the target population.

Reading the books in order of events has seen some of the books split into phases depending on events. Most of these dates are approximated with the assistance of historians. An example is where the events in the book of Samuel are interjected by the writing of Psalms. Chronicles, Samuel and Kings are said to have been written in the same year. That means that a person following this order will be required to jump from one book to the other.

The online platform makes it easy to access the books because they are already ordered or easy to order. It is not like when reading from paper back where you have to flip back and forth. Finding this order has taken incredible resources in times of time and money to sift through tones of information. The order is guided by history that runs alongside the details provided in the scripture.

Exhausting the books requires dedication and a detailed plan on how to complete it. The plan allows you to cover each section at a time. You could read chapter by chapter or each book at a time. You have a personal time frame to complete both testaments. This could take you several weeks, months or years. You will avoid repetition or skipping some of the pages or chapters.

There are institutions and authors who have compiled this edition in paper back. The books can be purchased from online stores at incredible prices. The order is thorough to the last chapter and verse. Some editions have included apocalypse books that are found in catholic and orthodox bibles. The price will depend on the shipping offers and the publisher.

The story of creation and the salvation of mankind are easy to understand when you read the chronological bible. The events are narrated in an orderly manner that makes them easy to understand. The comments on different events help the readers to understand the context of the scripture.
