A Terrific Way to Read the Bible October 22, 2008 One of my goals this year was to read the entire Bible during the month of January. My wife bought me The Narrated Bible in Chronological Order for Christmas, and I found it to be a helpful guide to reading the Bible as a narrative.
Every pastor should own this Bible. It is extremely helpful in the way it lays out the historical narrative.
Two sections deserve particular mention. First, the Law of Moses is arranged topically. Laws from Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy are harmonized and combined into one section which is broken down in outline form. This helps the reader gain a good overview of the substance of the Mosaic Law.
Secondly, the minor prophets can be rather intimidating for today's readers. This Bible takes you through the narrative of 1&2 Chronicles by interspersing the prophetic writings. That way, you know exactly what time period each prophet is from.
I have a few quibbles with this Bible. I question some of the editor's chronology. For example, he places Jesus' crucifixion on Thursday instead of Friday. The Gospels are harmonized, and unfortunately the editor does not leave footnotes that explain (or even bring to attention) apparent contradictions. Also, the author's narration is sometimes too detailed, and other times not detailed enough.
Still, this Bible in chronological order is a very helpful guide to pastors and laypeople alike. I highly recommend it.
Narrated Bible September 12, 2008 I recommend this Narrated Bible Book to every one. All of the Books of the Bible are in order, in accordance of the beginning to end. It is just a FANTASTIC BOOK! I bought myself one and my daughter, and I think I am going to buy more for Christmas. What a Wonderful Gift to give....
Chronological Bible July 4, 2008 I use this Bible for daily devotions and study. I have purchased and given a copy to ten others. Enough said.
You should have this among your Bibles May 31, 2008 You haven't read your Bible until you've read it chronologically! When I began to do this, it began to give me a better understanding of the story line that we so easily miss...
The narrated Bible May 5, 2008 I love reading this Bible, especially the gospels, it puts them into one story of Jesus.
