I would love if they took the ESV study bible and put it in chronological order. That way you can have the notes and context within the timeline. Probably wouldn't be a 1yr read, but I personally take my time reading my bible and study notes so I'm in no rush.
PS. A red letter option would be a cool addition as well
Greta review Tim. The ESV is my favorite translation and so far I'm really pleased with this chronological bible. Tying the divided kingdoms to the applicable prophets has always challenged me. This will help!
The really great thing about this Bible is it follows the chronology as organized by Dr. Andrew Steinmann. Dr. Steinmann's book "From Abraham to Paul" makes an excellent companion for this study bible.
I have been using the NLT Chronological Life Application Study Bible, along with some other texts on chronology and various chronological reading plans to compare. The ultimate purpose being to assist in the study of Biblical theology. The NLT CLASB is a great bible that I am still using, like to give as a gift, and I consider it to be the best of it's "kind." But it is not exactly the same "kind" of chronological Bible as the ESV chronological study bible.
Pretty much ALL chronological study bibles are devotional in nature. The NLT CLASB is a REALLY nice bible, but the notes are (of course) "life application" study notes. Now I don't doubt for a minute that the contributors to the NLT CLASB were concerned about CHRONOLOGY. But the form factor of the Bible itself is more devotional. My primary concern in a resource like this is the details of the chronology itself.
So the ESV Chronological study bible isn't filled with notes that address the concerns you might have if you are digging deep on the various issues and details of the TECHNICAL side of Bible chronology. But the bible does what I found myself WISHING I had in my hand when I was studying chronology: put this into a reading plan, or a chronological bible, or SOMETHING that was convenient to use. Low and behold, all of the sudden I saw this to pre-order back in the spring or early summer.
I think this is one area where Crossway really gets it right. If you look at their "suite" of Bibles......the ESV Study Bible, ESV Church History SB, ESV Systematic Theology SB, ESV Literary SB, Archeology SB, and even their Concise and Student bibles, all these are more for what I would call "serious" study. I think many folks don't realize that their complaints about the "study bible market" are really rooted in the fact that all these hundreds and hundreds of Bibles are doing the same thing: telling you to love your Grandma, be nice to mean people, make your bed, do your chores, and occassionally dropping some tidbit of bible trivia in a note here and there. Or, at best, the notes are so broad and sanitized for a large and diverse reading population that they just don't say enough, or what they say is just simply unsatisfactory or unhelpful.
I'm not against devotionals at all. I am not against resources that are useful to new believers. But I think what Crossway has done with the ESV is overdue by about 30 years and their work in releasing truly helpful, RIGOROUS study materials in their Bibles is going to be a powerful factor in solidifying the translation for many many years. ESV study bibles are a great jumping-off point to anyone who is really getting into the weeds on a variety of biblical, theological, historical and literary studies.
And that is what really makes this ESV chronological study bible stand out. Dr. Stienmann's work in this field is widely considered the BEST of it's kind basically, for all time. He has some interesting arguments here and there but my experience with his work is that he is able to clear up a lot of confusion you may run across when studying bible chronology.
He won't tell you to love your enemies "better" but that should go without saying if you're a serious student of the Bible. This is the bible to get if you want a text handy to reference as you do serious work trying to learn bible chronology.
The first time I read the Bible I read it in chronological order using a reading plan online (I'm a history nerd and I wanted to know which books overlapped.) This seems like the same thing but in physical format, and I love how much effort they put into the design!
@@Yesica1993I got started in the 90s, it still sucked, it's very capable now if you ask very specific questions.
Rose publishing makes a binder full of materials that have so many charts, it'll straighten you out. NLT bibles have some very good charts in the back as well, I've not used their software but it's known to be good.
This looks like a really good resource! A little disappointed John 1:1 isn’t placed next to genesis 1:1. Will you be making a video comparison of different chronological Bibles? That would be really helpful!
The issue I have with Chronological Bibles, is they tend not to be FULLY chronological. For example, the book of Job should be placed in and around Genesis 11 after the Tower of Babel account. Reading it at this point gives you a better understanding of its content and what the persons involved would have known/viewed the world etc. Allan M
the NLT chronological life application bible does have job after genesis, I think its set up where it goes through all of genesis before moving onto job.
The indications in Job itself place it during Israel's sojourn in Egypt, not earlier as you would have it.
1. Eliphaz is at least 3 generations from Esau (Job 2:11), so Job is about 3 generations from Jacob--during the Egyptian sojourn. Bildad's genealogy suggests the same.
2. Job is from the land of Uz, apparently named after Uz, son of Dishan, a descendant of Esau (Lam 4:21; Gen 36:28; 1 Chr 1:42).
3. The name Job (איוב) occurs in various form sin the Egyptian execration texts (ca. 2000) among the name of Palestinian chieftains. The name Job also appears in an Amarna letter (15th/14th century) and in second millennium texts from Mari and Alalakh. All this points to a second century setting.
4. Job received money from his friends in the form of a kesitah (Job 42:11), a measure of silver that is mentioned elsewhere in the OT only in connection with Jacob (Gen 33:19; Josh 24:32).
I am a ESV man, I am counting down the hours for this review.
Would love to see an ESV Chronological Study Bible
Howdy folks, hopefully everyone is having a great day. MARANATHA
I’ve been waiting on this review! Can’t wait!
Hope you like it!
I love the days instead of dates. I agree with you. That timeline is sooo cool as well!
Thanks for this review! I think I'll pick up a copy as a gift for a family member. I have to say though, even as a protestant, the apocrypha would make a compelling addition to a bible formatted through the rubric of history, and would be that little extra help to understand the historical setting of the NT.
So excited to see this review & think my fave part is that it is undated! Great review Tim! Thx!
Alright, your next project is to get on the horn with the Holman folks to make a CSB version of this same thing! Please and thank you!
I have a book CSB "Christ Chronological" published by Holman, which I purchased new a few months back. It's based on the CSB translation of the gospels. Parallel passages are printed side by side in a multi column format, making comparisons easy, while passages unique to a particular gospel are printed in a single column format. Sometimes the narrative from a particular book appears to be printed out of sequence, but when this happens it's usually done to cater for the differences between the emphases the different writers have. There are some notes between sections but these are kept to a minimum.
There is one. It's called the CSB day-by-day chronological bible. I don't really like what they did with it though. They use words like 'acts' and 'play' as if it's only a story with different characters.
I've been interested in a Chronological Bible recently. This is pretty cool!!
I got this for Christmas! Can't say enough about how much more this is than a chronological bible. Little nuggets. Features I didn't expect. I can hardly put it down. I teach Sunday school, and this will give me extra historical context I've been wanting. Thanks for the great review. Trutone is nice too.
I am really looking forward to seeing this review!
Hope you like it!
Thanks for the review! I would love to see a video where you discuss the pros and cons of a chronological Bible. Should we study the Bible as organized or should we modernize the order to fit with our way of thinking? For instance, I have typically been against mashing the synoptics together because you lose out on the individual themes of each book but have more recently considered how helpful this sort of Bible would be as well. Thanks for all your reviews!
That ordering is nice. People miss days, and it's not always best to try to "catch up" in on your reading in one day. Read each day and do your best to understand all that you read (use commentaries, different translations, and other resources) as opposed to just reading what you are supposed to read to meet a goal.
I've wanted a bible like this for a couple years. I'm glad you brought it to our attention I now have it on my end table to read.
Nice!
One thing I've never understood about most chronological Bibles or reading plans I've seen is that they don't put the introduction to John's Gospel directly before or after Genesis 1, where it would seem to belong.
I will be definitely be getting this. Looks like a smooth read and in chronological order
I am almost finished reading the bible through a tradional layout, but I think I want to try to read through it chronologially now. Thanks for the review on this bible.
Thank you-- just ordered hardcover, should be here tomorrow morning.
Wow this is a great Bible. I would love to see the study and chronological come together. That would really be all in one
I ordered the Trutone the day it was released! Starting 1/1/24 with this one!
I can't imagine putting this much work into organizing everything chronologically and leaving all the apocryphal books out of the intertestamental period. I'm glad you pointed out its absence.
I like it, I want one! Thanks for review.
Wow! This is so cool!
I've not read a chronological Bible but definitely need to.
Wow! What a cool Bible! I’ll definitely look into it!
There are many chronological bibles out there. Glad to see it in ESV.
Yeah, what Eric said below. NKJV Chrono. Bible comparison? I love that Bible! Beautiful artwork, and TONS of good information about culture, politics, as well as what you are about to read. I’ll follow that one for 2024…. Did ESV Wide margin, this year with Bible Recap. ( with U Tuber, Kanoe Gibson who is awesome). Thx Tim. I don’t think that new version of 2023 NKJV CHRONOLOGICAL BIBLE was reviewed on your channel.? I know Tim Frisch “ A Frisch Perspective” U tuber reviewed and had some cautions about the nkjv. I love it though. Thx again. 👍
Interesting way to go through it, especially if you want to do a "Bible in a Year" read . . .
Now, this is certainly an interesting bible. Into this, I will look 🙂
Thanks for the review. I wish rather than give us wide margins (there are several good editions of this), Crossway would have made this in a larger type.
Amazing
Wow!
I'm feeling motivated to check out the availability of chronological Bibles that are friendly to my budget. I do have an NIV Storyline Bible by Zondervan, which relates different sections of the text to different eras, but I wouldn't call it a chronological Bible. I do have CSB chronological Bible based only on the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Nice review as always, Tim! Just curious, how did they handle repetitive accounts, e.g., in the gospels and kings/chronicles. Did they present them all together, mixed them up, or removed the rest. Thanks.
Watch again… I talked about that a couple times in the video and showed what it looks like.
very informative bible
This looks cool. Thomas Nelson makes a NKJV Chronological Study Bible that is full color with great notes for each reading. It’s lovely.
I’ve had my eye on that one for over a year now.
I really have been enjoying that NKJV Bible. I could read it for hours! Packed full of great info! 👍
I have that bible. I haven't read through it yet, but hope to soon.
This is such a cool Bible! Does it include the wisdom literature, or just the narrative passages?
Hey Tim, do you know if 316 is sending you a compact LSB? I’m holding off on buying one in hopes to watch a review first
I'm reading at the moment (again) The Four Gospels: Commentary on the Holy Scriptures of the New Testament, which is basically a chronological version of the New Testament
Many years ago, I bought Zondervan's archeological study Bible and loved it. I gave my copy away. Have you heard whether they will ever reissue this? I have the CSB Holy Land Illustrated Bible; I enjoy it not for the Scripture (I prefer the ESV and the RSV) but for the beautiful and educational supplements.
LOVE this Bible, HOWEVER, the paper for the hardcover is much too thin, but maybe that’s why I was able to buy such a beautiful Bible for a reasonable price, but maybe the Faux Leather has stronger paper, it looked like the ESV study Bible pages.
Never read a Bible that way, it is interesting. I like order and book by book, but I think I might read the Bible this way at some time. I just take a very long time.
The color coding reminds me of the Great Adventure Bible.
The Great Adventure Bible by Ascension does the same thing.
Ok this is cool😊😊😊
Purchased the leathersoft/true tone version of this for my son based of your recommendation for this bible.
He absolutely loves this and is really excited by the daily reading plan. So thank you Tim. It is a really nice looking bible and he loves it. That pull-out time line is a great touch and the maps are nice and clear.
Wonderful!
Tim, are you aware of any chronological Bibles in the NRSV translation? Thanks.
Feels a lot like ascensions great adventure Bible timeline / Bible
Where can I listen to that particular bible with that reading plan?
I have The Story chronological Bible. But I like this better, because from what I can see, it looks like it’s just the biblical text.
How do these books order compare to the TaNaK ?
Is it likely that the ESV Chronological Bible won't exactly match the NKJV Chronological Bible in terms of structure since there isn't an official timeline agreement set in stone?
Tim , I been out of church for awhile and I’m getting back into it and wanna be head strong and never leave , I’m looking for a nice study bible and I really wanna devote my time to the lord ! What do you suggest
ESV Study Bible is solid and full of good study notes.
Thanks Tim
Is this the only ESV chronological Bible on the market?
That text looks similar to the heritage heirloom... how close is it?
Single column, similar font size... but it's not the same pagination because of the daily entries.
@@timwildsmith Thanks. That makes sense. I think I will order this one. My daughter will like going through the bible on a timeline and will give her a different perspective from her normal NIrV (which I think is a fantastic translation, and a nice change from ESV).
Does this bible come in Spanish?
Does this follow the Bible Recap plan?
I don’t know, but I doubt it.
Is this an expensive Bible . Sounds like a keeper ❤
Not too expensive.
It's tough to chop up old testament prophets and match them to kings, without having them on a lateral flowchart, it's asking a lot from a book. Long story short, most of the "prophets" fall within 400 years and overlap, concentrated into about 250 years, and tapering off till the 400 years of silence before Christ.
As cool as chronological Bibles are, it frustrates me so much that they only come in narrative-chronology and not composition-chronology. I want a Bible that puts everything in the chronological composition order of critical scholarship so it's easier to study the development of ideas and themes through time.
Print too small, darn it!
China again
