Synopsis

A concise guide to when the books of the Bible appeared, based on modern biblical criticism. This edition traces the sequence from ancient origins through the formation of the Old and New Testaments, linking literary growth with contemporary events.

The book presents a clear, chronological arc that covers key historical periods, evolving language, and the evolving canon. It shows how scholars place the various writings in time, and why these dates matter for understanding the Bible as a whole. Readers will gain a grounded sense of how biblical books reflect their world and how later editors shaped the scriptures we know today.


  • How the Old Testament books came together and were ordered over centuries

  • When early New Testament writings likely appeared and how later edits shaped them

  • The influence of surrounding cultures and historical events on biblical texts

  • Notes on language, transmission, and the formation of the biblical canon



Ideal for readers interested in biblical history, literary development, and the chronology behind the Bible’s pages.
