Publisher's Synopsis
Knowing where and when events took place is one of the basic issues with Old Testament study. Here is a chronology of significant events in biblical and secular history from Adam to Jesus. Old Testament people and events are synchronized with relevant events in secular history, allowing the reader to grasp the scope of YHWH's interaction with humankind through Israel. Twenty appendices discuss additional details, including an important reconsideration of the orthodox Egyptian chronology, which demonstrates the accuracy of the biblical record. Other issues discussed are where Noah's ark came to rest, the timing of the Exodus, the pharaoh of the Exodus, where the Red Sea crossing was made, and the location of the Mountain of God where Israel camped for two years after the Exodus. A complete and dated list of Israel's kings and High Priests is provided. Three appendices discuss the biblical and secular evidence as to where and when Jesus was born.
