Shirley H Supporter Wife, mother, veteran in the spiritual war we all face!

Actually, Jack I have two of them. One is "The Reese Chronological Bible," and the one I am looking at right now is "The Daily Bible In Chronological Order."

I will quote a description for you from "The Daily Bible”:

"In the Daily Bible, you will read the scriptures in chronological order just as the events happened in history. Instead of reading portions of the Old Testament and New Testament at random, in the Daily Bible you will see the events unfold before you like an epic novel. Along the way, you will be led from one passage to another by informative, interesting narrative which sets the scene for what you are about to read.

“If you have never read the Bible from cover to cover, this is one Bible that will help you to do that. It leads you gently into ‘the whole council of God.’ You will sometimes by pleasantly surprised, always edified, and greatly challenged.

“Unique, Topical, Presentations:
As you read, for the first time, you will have all of the Laws of Moses gathered together in a single, unified presentation by subject matter. You will gain a new appreciation for the history of Israel when you see the ceremonial laws, the dietary and health laws, and the various civil and criminal laws in one place. Psalms are grouped together by themes."

The books of Ecclesiastes and Proverbs are arranged in topical order.

"The prophets are fit into the history of the people of Israel. Their sermons decrying materialism, injustice, and religious hypocrisy ring out to a dying nation. For the first time, a totally integrated account of the life of Christ in chronological order. Paul's various epistles bristle with new meaning when you read them in the context of the Book of Acts."

"The Daily Bible is neither a translation nor a paraphrase. The context is composed entirely of Scripture, using the widely-acclaimed New International Version."

I believe my other chronological Bible, The Reese, is King James version. 

I hope this gives you a sense of what this type of Bible is like.

What is The Chronological Bible? I have borrowed it from my library and like it for at least 2 reasons. First, in the Old Testament book of 1 Samuel, for example, First Samuel 19:1-17 aabout the time David escaped the soldiers Saul sent to kill him, you immediately read in Psalm 59 how David poured out his heart to God in response to this situation. 

And the second reason I like it is that in the New Testament gospel accounts the Chronological Bible functions like a harmony of the gospels. I loved The Harmony of the Gospels which we were REQUIRED to use at Dallas Theological Seminary in Dr. Dwight Pentecost’s class on “The Life of Christ.” (A Harmony of the Gospels by A.T. Robertson, HARPERCOLLINS / 1932 / HARDCOVER --5 out of 5 stars for A Harmony of the Gospels.) 

For instance, when you are reading one of the Gospel writer’s accounts of something Jesus said or did, maybe the Last Supper in Mark 14:12-16, you can see right away what the other Gospel writers wrote about this subject (Matthew 26:17-19 and Luke 22:7-13)! On the first Sunday of every month for the 7 years that I was a pastor, I led Communion with my small church and often used these passages. Any Christian teacher or parent can use these precious helps with those under his influence.

What is the Chronological Bible?

A Chronological Bible is an edition of Scripture that arranges events in the order they occurred, rather than the traditional thematic or "canonical" order. It helps readers understand the historical flow of biblical events, placing prophets within the historical accounts they accompanied and Psalms within the timeframes in which they were written.

Some Features and Benefits

Sequential Narrative: Covers events from Creation to Revelation in sequence.

Interwoven Books: Combines historical, poetic, and prophetic books to show context (e.g., placing Job in the time of the Patriarchs and weaving Paul's letters into the book of Acts).

Improved Context: Offers a clearer perspective on the storyline of Israel and the life of Jesus, connecting prophecies to their fulfilment.

Daily Reading Plans: Many editions, such as "The One Year Chronological Bible," divide the text into 365 daily readings, helping users read the entire Bible sequentially in one year.

This approach allows for a more cohesive reading experience, making it easier to understand how different events and stories connect over time.

Introduction to the - New Living Translation 2nd Edition Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. Carol Stream, Illinois

The One Year Chronological Bible contains the entire text of the New Living Translation, arranged in the order of events. This unique viewpoint allows you to read the whole Bible as a single story and to see the unfolding of God's plan in history.

Reading the Bible in chronological order will help you gain a unique perspective on Scripture that you could not get from reading a regular Bible cover to cover. For example, after you read in 1 Samuel 19:1-17 about the time David escaped the soldiers who were sent to capture him (pages 428–429), you will immediately read in Psalm 59 how David poured out his heart to God in response to this situation (page 429). When you read one of the Gospel writers' accounts of something Jesus said or did (for instance, Mark 14:12-16, page 1432), you will also be able to see what the other Gospel writers recorded for this event (for instance, Matthew 26:17-19, page 1432 and Luke 22:7-13, page 1432). When you read the letters of Paul, you will see how they fit into the framework of his missionary journeys recorded in the book of Acts. You will be able to see how various passages fit together into a single, unfolding story.

The One Year Chronological Bible has been prepared especially for Bible readers wishing to read through the entire Bible chronologically in one year. Instead of following a Bible reading chart and experiencing the delay of flipping from place to place in the Bible, you will find this text in chronological sequence, arranged for your easy reading, study, and meditation.
