The Bible Timeline Chart

Great companion to anyone reading the Bible. It has helped me understand the overall story - it puts it all into an easy to visualize graphical format. I've bought several to share with family & at church.

Nothing compares to the level of information in such a compact space! It’s the only timeline out there that’s worth every penny I spent on it!

In Jeff Cavins' autobiography, he discusses creating this timeline with Scott Hahn, and it appears in some of Scott Hahn's early TV shows such as "Our Father's Plan". In that show, it takes up an entire wall. The latest version unfolds to about three feet, printed in color on both sides. There are other Bible timelines by other companies. Several things are unique about this one. Jeff Cavins made a video series shown on TV called "The Great Adventure", which was geared to this timeline. It also followed his idea, also in his autobiography, that you can follow the story of salvation in the Bible by reading parts of fourteen books, also geared to this timeline. There is also a "Great Adventure" Bible which is also geared to this timeline, and includes the 73 books of the Catholic Bible, seven books of which were removed after the Reformation from some Protestant Bibles. Earlier versions were just called "Bible Timeline". I, for one, am glad to see it now called "The Great Adventure: Your Journey Through the Bible, The Bible Timeline Chart: A Visual Overview of Salvation History". Someone wrote a review saying this is virtually the same as the last edition of the chart, but costs twice as much. Perhaps so. I gave several people copies of the last version as I was so excited about it. But it was puzzling and difficult to figure out. This one has an introduction and explanation of the color key at the beginning. I was very excited when the first version of this chart became available, because I tried to draw my own chart while watching Scott Hahn explain it on his shows, and the shows went too quickly to allow for that. One example of something I learned from this chart is under the "Divided Kingdom" panel, which shows how Israel is torn asunder in 930 B.C. into the Northern Kingdom of the ten "lost" tribes who are carried away to Assyria, and the Southern Kingdom of Judah, which also includes the small tribe of Benjamin. The chart shows where to read about this event in the books of first and second Kings, and also which prophets are speaking to which kingdom. The copyrights on this chart show how it has been continually improved in 2003, 2011, 2015, and this version in 2019. However, either Ascension Press ought to be the seller on Amazon, or Amazon ought to get their stock directly from Ascension Press. Why? Because sellers are charging almost $4 for shipping when this pamphlet can be mailed for a dollar. Also, they charge the same shipping rate for each chart, even on quantity purchases. I'd like to keep a few copies on hand to give as gifts, but the shipping is prohibitive, unless Amazon stocks this chart so it can qualify for free shipping.

Very helpful with the Great Adventure Bible and the GAB companion. Much of the sme information is found in the Great American Bible.

I love the Ascension podcasts and this Bible timeline is very helpful to understand the sequence and timing of events in the Bible, and even has a secular timeline as well. Love this!

Arrived in great condition with no pages bent. Easy chart to read!

If you've ever wondered the relevance of bible events to the era, this little pamphlet helps put things into perspective. You have who was a world power at the time, which bible events occured at the time, who was king, etc. Unfortunately, the package it came in was a bit too large for the mailbox. In spite of the fact that I have a standing request all packages be left at the door due to an active mailbox thief in the early morning hours, USPS chose to cram it in there when it arrived at 6 a.m. The pamphlet arrived terribly creased. I am taking off stars for that and one star because I think it's overpriced

This is incredibly helpful to make the OT meaningful. After 30 years of being a Believer, the OT is really clicking. And it's fascinating. I've had great success with the app Daily Audio Bible. Having it read to me a little each day keeps me on track. I can rabbit trail way too easily. I bought one for my adult son too. And you can give yourself a complete OT reminder in under a minute! Or explain it to a non believer. Great gift.

It is great- but only that one, be careful, there are several others , which are to complicated. Bible is complicated enough, this timeline will help you a lot

I am fairly disappointed when I finally received the actual Timeline Chart. On the picture, it looks like a thick Manila card type of paper being used but the actual product is printed on a thin (probably 100gm or so) paper. However, the print quality is fairly good. It’s making me lost faith on Ascension Press’s product. I still got a Great Adventure Bible Large Print edition yet to be delivered and is thinking of cancelling the order.

This was such a helpful resource for me. It made the stages of biblical history clear and easy to follow. Seeing everything laid out visually helped me understand how the major events, time periods, and people fit together in a way that really made sense.

It is what it says it is a timeline and nothing else. I think it’s over priced.

Excellent
