I’ve recently received The Chronological Study Bible from Thomas Nelson. Needless to say I did not read the entire text. I spent a few weeks doing my morning devotions from this Bible. Because of that I feel like I have a good feel for what the publishers were trying to accomplish.

First of all let me say that I’m thoroughly impressed with the artwork and amazing colors. It really makes reading the Bible enjoyable. 

The text is arranged in chronological order. So if you’ve read the Bible over and over, this can really be refreshing and it can also help you understand the events as they happened. The point is not to change the canonical order of scripture but to help us grasp the Biblical narrative as it played out. 

They used the NKJV Translation and the Bible is divided into Nine Epochs. Each Epoch has a through introduction and  I did enjoy the various study tools that was provided. They also provided a legitimate concordance. Throughout the text you will find great study tools that will benefit the reader. 

Don’t get me wrong, I would not make this my permanent Study Bible. But I do think it adds value to my collection. I’m thinking about reading it as a devotion in 2009 and I would recommend it.
