The Bible in World History

by Dr. Stephen Leston, Christopher D. Hudson

What was happening outside Bible lands during the time of the patriarchs, Jewish kingdoms, the prophets, Jesus’ ministry, and the early church? Find out with The Bible in World History. This pocket-sized, fully illustrated reference breaks biblical and early church history into eight major time periods—from “Creation to the Tower of Babel” through “Anno Domini,” the years from Jesus’ birth to about AD 330—and shows what was happening in other parts of the world during those times. With references to Chinese, Indian, African, and Mayan cultures, among others, The Bible in World History will help you see how history and scripture intersect.

Eh, chew the meat and spit out the bones with this one-especially the timelines. It gives a very basic overview of the high points through scripture and shows what is happening in other parts of the world during those times- which is what I was looking for. However, it was very basic and lacked the depth I was wanting. It read more like an elementary text book.

The book shows timelines where one side is biblical events and the other side world events. Very interesting read.
