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 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. |
