I enjoyed your review. You mirrored alot of my thoughts about this Bible as I am nearly at the end also. But I don't quite agree about 'one use' as I think it will be useful as reference material when reading other editions and wanting to check on the chronological order of events one is reading about. As for not being able to find specific passages it has a complete scripture index at the back of the book. I have found it to be really engaging to read throughout the year, especially where it gives the exact date in history of many of the prophecies.
A chronological Bible is great when your intended purpose is to read the Bible chronologically. I purchased mine to do specifically that, and have been very happy with my experience. It’s not the best option if you’re new to Bible reading in general. This would seem obvious to us who’ve been Christians for a while, but new Christian’s most likely don’t understand why, not being familiar with why the canan is ordered they way it is and the different literary styles of each book. Thinking from the perspective of someone new to Bible reading, I can definitely imagine them making the mistake of choosing a chronological version because chronologically ordered historical literature seems to make the most sense at first glance.
As a historian, the chronological order is incredibly helpful in teaching the flow of ideas and theology. I think you’re missing the point regarding notes.😊
I am thinking of getting a chronological Bible for church history and biblical history e.g. a better picture of the biblical and church history perhaps? Yes or no? Would welcome your comments on this post Colton. Thank you!
@@ryanbrown-iw2oh also there is one in the back. They call it a “scripture index” and it takes up many pages. It’s definitely possible to find stuff, but would change the cons for me. Too much flipping around to simply get where you need to go.

Probably better to have a Bible reference book that provides the chronology as a study help.

I did a chronological reading through the Bible and I had the same con as you pointed out - only one use. Thanks for the video!
Right on. Thanks Luke!
Nice review.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Wouldn’t be the first point I’ve missed.
Is the ESV alpha your favorite EDC ESV?
@@pollycronopolis7648 at the moment, yes. Though I do also love the Cambridge Clarion
For note taking create your own simple index.

@@craig3540 yes I think they are very helpful for that sort of thing.
Colton-would a Table of Contents fix the cons in your opinion?
Unfortunately no. The text is just to spread out due to the chronological layout.
