Timelines can be useful in putting the Bible in perspective. The books of the Bible are not arranged in a chronological manner, so have a handy timeline at your side, reading through Scripture makes more sense. My favourite timeline, commercially available, is Jeff Cavin's colourful version. There's a short introduction to that in the video below. Meanwhile, I've installed a very simple timeline in the sidebar of this blog, at the very bottom, and I've drawn it down past the two thousand years of Christian history, placing my own favourite Saints into it. It's interesting to think that we're just about at the same distance from the time of Christ as were the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob on the other side of history.
