Chronological Study Bible – A Review

// April 13th, 2009 // life

So, I’m not really good at studying.  At all.  I’m even worst when it comes to the big book, The Bible.  I get overwhelmed with all the amazing stories and time lines so much so I’ve wanted to find a better way to get through the whole thing.

I received a copy of the Chronological Study Bible from Thomas Nelson a few months back.  There’s obviously no way I can get through this whole book before I write a review but I can tell you that this is a comprehensive and very easy way to study the Bible.

Each section is very comprehensive on the specific time period covering specifics of the time period, the people & groups and the culture of that time.  This helps is setting the “scene” of what you begin reading.  On many pages there are some key notes and features that take you deeper into that day and age.

The version I’m going through is the New King James Version and have found it to be very helpful in learning and studying but more importantly to keep me interested with details not found in other texts.  Highly recommend this study Bible if you are looking to do more than just “read” the Bible… this will take you into the time period and help you relate/understand the stories in a way that most miss in general reading.
