Tool #1: Read the Bible Chronologically
The Holy Bible is first and foremost a non-fiction historical record about real
people, in real places, in real times, saying and doing real things. This story
opens with a perfect situation in the Garden that was ruined by Adam and Eve
and was going to be fixed by God. The account of this story, when God steps in
to begin to make everything right, begins with a man named Abram in Genesis
chapter 12, and goes all the way through the Bible, to the end of the four
Gospel accounts: from Genesis chapter 12 through John 21. It spans a period
of time that is more than 2,100 years long -- from about 2,100 BC to around
AD 33.
But there’s one serious difficulty with our Bibles, and that problem is this: our
Bibles are not arranged in anything like a chronological order through time
whereby we can pick it up and read right through the story. This is because
our Bibles are arranged into 66 different books, but they are not in an order
that lets us follow the story as it unfolds through time.
We solve this problem when we disassemble the Bible and rearrange its
contents into a strict chronological order -- the order through time in which the
story took place.
