The Bible Timeline Chart

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!

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.

Helpful, beautiful, clear...a keeper!

Got this to go along with my bible of the same brand and creator, I used it a couple of times to see were I was in the timeline but truth be told, it's not something I use often and for the price it doesn't hurt to know that...lol... It is a great learning tool just not one I use often, that said, for those who really want to get into the timeline i'm sure it will be an indispensable tool.

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

It is very well summarized and it is also easy to follow it along the Bible or if you need to check on some dates or understand the timeline of certain events , this is your go to! It was ripped in the corner but It was ok, no information was missing because of that… I recommend it ! Especially if you are starting to read the Bible and if you want to catechize someone

Parents love it. I just didn't approve of this purchase which is why I returned it.

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.

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

Excellent

I was struggling to find this here in the UK. I follow the Bible in a year podcast, and I purchased the Great adventure bible from the Asscension website, forgetting to add this timeline to the basket (they don't deliver to the UK anymore) I found this on amazon and ordered it - it was a bit more than the retail price, but it came from the US, and quite quickly. The timeline chart gives you a good visual understanding of the timeline of the various books in the Bible and is colour coded to match the Great Adventure Bible Timeline .
