14 Bible Reading – The Book Of Genesis
A Transcript Of The Video Study According to the Chronological Chart Of Bible Books, Genesis is the first book which appears on the timeline. We believe it was written by Moses, probably around the year 1491 BC, either during or just after he met with the Lord on Mount Sinai.

Bible Reading – Navigational Tools
The diagrams below are designed to serve as navigational tools as you journey through the books of the Bible. The Chronological Charts Of Bible Books are historic overviews, whereas the Framework Of Sovereign Grace is a theological overview. The chronological charts explain where the books of the Bible fit within a historical context; the framework explains how the books of the Bible are relevant for today. I recommend both sets of diagrams be used when reading through the books of the Bible. The diagrams may be downloaded, which will not only make them more accessible, but will also allow the size of the text to be increased.
