The Great Adventure Bible Timeline
Ascension
Seventy-three books. One story. The trick is seeing it. Jeff Cavins created The Great Adventure, published by Ascension, around one central tool: the Bible Timeline. It's a chart that divides salvation history into periods, each with its own color, and identifies the narrative books that carry the story forward.
The insight is simple and powerful. Read the narrative books in order and you get the story. Then you can slot the other books, the prophets, the wisdom literature and the letters, into that frame. The color-coding makes it stick. Ascension has built a whole line of studies on the system, including video series with Cavins and others, workbooks and charts. The same timeline drives the reading plan of The Bible in a Year podcast.
It suits inquirers who want to see the Bible as one story, parish Bible study groups, and anyone who started reading Scripture and got lost. Start with the introductory study and keep the chart handy whenever you read.
