Scripture Outlines

Two charts Old Testament — 1032 to 396 BC New Testament — 6 BC to AD 100

Where to start

Each chart is one continuous timeline you can scroll, filter, and search. Books sit in columns beside the years they cover, so the distance between a prophet's warning and the thing he warned about is a distance you can see rather than one you have to reconstruct. Right-click almost anything for the material behind it — a book's summary, a year's concordance, a marker's full category list.

Old Testament

The Scattered Kingdoms

1032 – 396 BC · David to Malachi

The kingdoms of Israel and Judah — their apostasy, their scattering by Assyria and Babylon, and the promise held open through all of it: redemption through an atoning Messiah of the line of David. Every book of the Old Testament is placed beside the events it records.

New Testament

The New Covenant

6 BC – AD 100 · the birth of Christ to the apostolic age

The mortal ministry and Atonement of Jesus Christ, the apostolic Church, and the Roman world around them — with every book of the New Testament placed beside the events it records.
