About this audiobook
The whole timeline of Scripture, in one place
From the dust of Eden to the fullness of time, every generation has its place in the divine order. Adam's Time Chart follows the genealogical thread of the Bible from the first man to the promised Messiah, reconstructing the chronology of redemption with clarity and reverence.
Drawing on the genealogies of Genesis, the reigns of the kings, the witness of the prophets, and the labors of sacred history, this volume charts the years of biblical history so the reader can see the grand architecture of God's appointed times.
Across six epochs of human history, you will trace:
◆ The patriarchal lifespans and the years from Creation to the Flood
◆ The line from Noah to Abraham and the call of the covenant
◆ The Exodus, the Judges, and the united kingdom of Israel
◆ The divided monarchy, the exile, and the return
◆ The silent years and the dawn of the New Covenant
A reference you will return to again and again
Rigorous yet accessible, with chronological tables and clear charts throughout, this is an essential companion for students of the Bible, teachers, small-group leaders, and every reader who longs to understand how the story of redemption fits together.
Anchored in Scripture. Ordered for understanding. Written for the reader who wants the whole picture.
