Read through Scripture in Historical Order with the ESV Chronological Bible

From Genesis to Revelation, the ESV Chronological Bible guides readers through the 8 eras of the Bible in the order the events occurred:

• Primeval History
• Patriarchal History
• From Deliverance to Inheritance
• The Last Judge and the United Monarchy
• The Divided Monarchy
• Exile and Restoration
• The Kingdom Comes
• The Early Church

This easy-to-read format combines various prophetic books, Psalms, and letters alongside Scripture’s historical accounts. Each era begins with an introduction, serving to reorient the reader and connect the section to God’s redemptive narrative as a whole. What’s more, this freshly designed layout divides the entire Bible into 365 daily readings—each beginning with a summary and timeline—making it easy to study Scripture over the course of a year.
