How is the Bible studied chronologically? Is it arranged in the order that it happened in history?
We study the Bible chronologically, especially in the Old Testament, in the order that it happened in history. However, it’s done loosely. We went basically in order of the books of the Bible until the kings of Israel, when we jumped around in Kings and Chronicles. The prophecies of Christ the Messiah come before the books of Esther, Ezra, and Nehemiah. Oh, and Job was studied between Genesis and Exodus. So it’s a very loose arrangement. In the New Testament, each Gospel is read one at a time, so that the gospel stories are presented four times over the year, with the year ending in Acts. The third year, we look at the Epistles one at a time, with many references back to Acts for context.
