I was blessed to receive “The Chronological Study Bible” New King James Version from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their book review blogger’s program.
Initially I was quite confused with the layout of the Bible. I was trying to find Daniel chapter 10 and couldn’t locate it because this Bible is not arranged like you would think. It is actually broken into time periods called Epochs. Thankfully this Bible contains exceptional indexes and glossaries and a comprehensive concordance. So, needless to say I was able to find chapter 10 of Daniel. Some passages are moved because they fit into a different Epoch.
There are also great maps and cultural and historical perspectives throughout the Bible. The Chronological Study Bible is an amazing study tool.
After using it for a few weeks I felt overwhelmed to share it with a sister who is a Bible teacher and loves to help our small group to grasp a larger perspective of the historical and cultural significance of the portion of scripture we’re studying. Needless to say she was really thrilled to receive it.
I recommend this Bible to anyone who is serious about his or her Bible study time. Not for your regular take to church Bible; but for your studies.
