NKJ One-Year Parallel Chronological Bible
Notes and Links
in reverse order
Home: Creator, Maker: Cosmos
In 2008 I am constructing a Chronological Bible in 365 readings, one per day of the year. The New King James text is arranged in the order that the events actually occurred, as best as I can determine. When two or more authors report the same event, I display their reports in intricate parallel to emphasize the common wording and the word-for-word differences (underlined).
I am making some additional resources as I go, such as charts, spreadsheets, etc., to help with perspective on the events and how they relate to each other. Links to the .pdf files are provided below as I make them. (Links to the .doc and .xls documents are provided last below, in case you prefer them to .pdf.)
Text colors: narration is in black text, but moved narration (due to chronology or parallelization) is in blue text, God’s words are in red text, and men’s words are in green text.
Highlighting: red marks God’s covenants, green marks “days of the Lord”, turquoise marks questions I still have, pink marks messages about text moved for reasons of chronology and parallels, and yellow marks names of the Lord and many other notable issues.
In some areas, I have not been able to complete the analysis on the day-by-day schedule needed to finish the project in 2008, so I plan to finish on a second pass in 2009, God willing.
Here’s where I am as of now (each has a link at the end to the next in the sequence, in chronological order):

Title Page. To be updated as I make daily progress this year.
2007/12/14 Sample In-Progress Bible Studies, not having to do with Genesis:
Ephesians, Titus, Olivet Discourse, More to come
