Description
Have you been skipping over references to time in the Bible because they seem too confusing? Professor Jack Finegan s Handbook of Biblical Chronology clarifies those ancient systems of time reckoning and the biblical passages that use them. Part 1, Principles of Chronology in the Ancient World, describes the origins of basic units of time and surveys the calendars used in the ancient Near East through the Roman era. Part 2, Problems of Chronology in the Bible, discusses major periods of the show more Old Testament, as well as the lives of Jesus, John the Baptist, and the Apostles Peter and Paul.This thoroughly revised edition includes a number of improvements over the classic 1964 edition. The text has been updated, expanded, and retypeset. It features more than 190 helpful tables (including 43 new ones), new sections, new datings, full subject and Scripture indexes, a detailed table of contents, and updated bibliographies. show lessTags

A wonderful, must-have reference for anyone who enjoys mucking around in the morass of biblical chronology and history.
Not the kind of book one reads from cover-to-cover, as I discovered when I tried. But useful to have on the shelf and to consult.
This is the most detailed resource available on issues relating to time and the Bible.
