This page will become a timeline showing the history of the Biblical stories. It will link to other resources (like the 12 Step Overview Of The Bible) and provide a visual way to see the Bible’s big picture.
Times and dates are often approximated as our modern calendar was not in use in past history. We can only approximate some dates by the events referenced around them.
As a side note – this timeline is a Biblical Story timeline. It is not making any comments on the creation of the universe, archaeology or other contentious issues. It’s purpose is to lay out a history as represented in the Bible.
