The Bible Period by Period / A Manual for the Study of the Bible by Periods

A college-level manual that arranges the contents of the Bible into twenty-one chronological periods, providing concise narrative summaries, thematic lessons, and end-of-chapter questions for guided study. It moves from origins and early patriarchal narratives through Egypt, Exodus, conquest, judges, monarchy and division, exile and restoration, and into the apostolic era, treating law, prophecy, and writings along the way. Each period combines historical overview, interpretive points, suggested discussion topics, and occasional references to secular confirmations, designed to serve classroom, Sunday School, or independent study and to build a practical working knowledge of biblical materials.
