The most recent
Booksneeze book I have been offered to review is
The Chronological Guide to the Bible by Thomas Nelson. This resourceful little book has much to offer in just over 200 pages. It takes you through the Nine Epochs of Biblical history. (This is especially convenient if you already have and use the Chronological Study Bible, which is also patterned with the Nine Epochs.) The Guide is packed with colorfully vivid tables, charts, references, photos, and timelines to help you better understand exactly what was going on in history during the time each book was written. There are thirteen contributors who also share with you controversies and various opinions, thus providing you with more opportunities to study and learn about different topics. The Chronological Guide to the Bible is not exclusive to one particular translation, and this makes it easy for anyone to use.
In a very short time, I've already learned much about traditions, people, and general history that I would've otherwise not been exposed to (or at least not in so quick a period of time). In short, this book is easy to use and has a considerable amount of information to offer for any Biblical scholar. I recommend this book for the shelves of all.
