From Eden To Patmos: An Overview of Biblical History

From the dawn of human history to our final glimpse of the aged Apostle John . . .

From Eden to Patmos: An Overview of Biblical History will guide you on a fascinating journey through the timeline of Scripture with a fresh approach that makes biblical chronology accessible for anyone wishing to strengthen their faith through a greater understanding of history.

God intends us to note the passing of time in biblical history and even synchronize this history to the events of the world. The grand events of redemption, and the men and women who were His instruments in them, are historical facts. These people really lived, really heard from God, really walked with Him, and were really used by God to make a difference in their generation.

In-depth volumes on biblical history abound, but From Eden to Patmos provides a simple overview that pieces together the flow of events and people in the Bible. . .
