Have you been skipping over references to time
in the Bible because they seem too confusing? Professor Jack Finegan’s
Handbook of Biblical Chronology clarifies those ancient systems of
time reckoning and the biblical passages that use them. Part 1,
Principles of Chronology in the Ancient World, describes the origins
of basic units of time and surveys the calendars used in the ancient
Near East through the Roman era. Part 2, Problems of Chronology in the
Bible, discusses major periods of the Old Testament, as well as the
lives of Jesus, John the Baptist, and the Apostles Peter and Paul.
This thoroughly revised edition includes a
number of improvements over the classic 1964 edition. The text has
been updated, expanded, and retypeset. It features more than 190
helpful tables (including 43 new ones), new sections, new datings,
full subject and Scripture indexes, a detailed table of contents, and
updated bibliographies. |
