I thought that with lots of us making New Year's resolutions, this review would be very timely. If your goal is to read or re-read through the bible this year, you may want to read it in chronological order. The Chronological Study Bible puts the events of the Bible in historical context.
This Bible is a lovely burgundy hardcover with the above illustrated cover jacket. The pages are filled with beautiful color graphics of the Bible times. There are lots of insets, notes and pictures that make this Bible very informative.
The text is in the New King James Version (NKJV) with notes and time lines.
This is the only study Bible arranged in chronological order that is available.
This Bible is laid out in the order of the nine epochs along with dates at the top of each page. At the front of the Bible is a Table of Contents, a Time Charts contents and a Time Panels each listing the epochs in order along with the historical events that coincided.
At the back of the Bible there is a list of Cultural and Historical Topics that are referenced by page number where information is found on the corresponding topic. There is also a Glossary, a Concordance and an Index of Scripture Passages. The final eight pages are 9 colored maps of the historical Bible times.
I love the idea of studying the Bible in chronological order. It makes it much easier to put Bible history in the same context as world history. I especially appreciate the the four gospels written all together into the one story of Jesus' life.
If you are interested in history & time lines and how Bible history connects to what is taking place today, then you will enjoy this Bible.
I suggest that you visit the Chronological Study Bible web site here to get more detailed information.
I like this Bible very much and highly recommend it.

This looks like an awesome Bible Rhonda... when you think about it....you have to wonder what has taken everyone so long to come up with a chronological study Bible. It makes so much sense for in depth study.
Thank you for the sweet comment you left on my blog!
I'm enjoying your blog. I read the story about the lady at the movie theater. Some people are just so hard to understand!
Thanks for the reminder... Kevin has a chronological study Bible that I used years ago.
I'll have to search it out again. I LOVED reading it. I'd be interested in having a peek at this new release also.
I have seen this Bible at the bookstore, and thought it would be interesting to read it. Thanks for the review!

That is a GREAT one - excellent review!
And I am chuckling over here about your Golden Arches confession...I know - me too!! Their fries are the best, and the experiment - the fries are even worse.
forgot to add - but that doesn't stop me from getting them. There aren't any better...hee hee.
