Better Understanding With Chronological Bible

By Eliza Mendoza


The current order of books makes biblical study tedious and confusing. It requires readers to move back and forth in order to find the connection between one story and the other. This problem has been solved with the availability of the chronological bible. It has the books and chapter arranged in the order that event happened. This creates a clear flow of event from the old to the New Testament that makes it easy to understand.

The traditional way of reading scriptures has readers begin at Genesis and ends up at Revelation. He will then combine the stories from one book to the other. Other readers have handled one testament at a time. This is another way of doing it since the events in each collection are unique. A historic reading allows you to follow the order according to the year when each book was written. It is a different experience when you follow the narrative as one story.

Bibles are sold in a variety of versions depending on the target audience. Among the most popular choices include Good News, King James Version, Revised Standard Version and New International Version. There are many more versions designed differently to meet the needs of different readers. Presentation and language makes it either easy or difficult to understand. Availability in different languages makes them accessible to a larger majority.

Historians and theologians have spent a lot of time and resources researching on the order of events. The outcome of this process has seen some chapters of certain books interjected by stories from other books. An example is Samuel whose events intersect with those of psalms. Other books that were penned on the same year include Kings and Chronicles. Reading these from ordinary bibles would require you to keep going back and forth.

Reading the books online is simplified because the order is already provided. When using ordinary bibles written on paper, one would have to flip numerous chapters and pages back and forth. Researches have had to delve through a lot of books to find a parallel between events given in reality and those found in the scripture.

In order to cover the entire biblical chronology fully, a reader is required to device a reading plan. The plan allows you to complete the old and the new testaments within a specified period of time. This could be one year, two years and even three years. You can log in your reading through the system to ensure that you do not skip any book or chapter.

There are authors and publishers who have provided hard copies of such bibles. They are sold from online outlets at reasonable prices. The nature of research conducted guarantees accuracy to the last chapter or verse. Some have included the extra canonical books found in orthodox and catholic bibles.

The narrative on creation makes more sense when you follow the specific order given in the chronological bible. A reader is able to understand since the flow is self explanatory. The addition of comments from the publisher or author explains some of the events that might be difficult to place in context.
