Why Study the Bible Chronologically?
Reading the Bible as a single, cohesive story helps us appreciate the progression of God’s work with His people. It allows us to experience the Bible not as isolated books and verses, but as a living narrative that crescendos toward redemption and the ultimate mission of the church. For women studying the Bible, this method offers insights into God’s intentions, guiding us to see where we fit within this sacred history. It provides context to familiar stories, explains the significance of various covenants, and strengthens our grasp of biblical themes like redemption, judgment, and grace.
