It arranges the King James Version of the Bible into consecutive order. Now the Bible can be read as a history of chronological events. The compiler was a college teacher of Bible-related subjects. He spent over twenty years on this work.
There is not common agreement among scholars on some Biblical dates. Numerous works on Bible history and chronology were consulted. Every time frame in the Bible was analyzed. Placement divisions were made in the best judgment of the arranger. Frank Klassen’s system of dating, which was recently developed, has given assistance in presenting a better overview of Bible history.
There is a general index in outline form at the beginning. The length of life of an individual is indicated with the heading describing his death. The generation lineage of Jesus is indicated in the heading describing an individual’s birth. Dates are those of the Klassen Chronology, unless otherwise noted. The chapter index at the back will help to find a particular section.
