Maybe you've done this but WHICH chronological Bible would you favor and recommend?
I appreciate your view, Tim. Thanks. I agree with you, when it comes to study notes, it matters greatly who's offering them and what they're saying in regards to the passage, authorship, context, etc.
I totally agree with your review on this Bible, and yes - I would also love to see a revised edition with a believer's perspective. Thanks!
Thank-you so much. You are the first one to mention the study notes are written from an atheists point of view, like by some college professor who teaches religion but believes in nothing. I bought the NLT Chronological life application Bible and the notes are spot on. That one is great and very engaging, makes me want to read more.
I agree! I, too, own Tyndale's NLT Chronological LASB (1st edition), and its notes are in line with one having faith in Christ. My NLT LASB 2nd edition has pretty much the same notes as my chronological Bible. Both Tyndale Bibles are intended to further our faith and relationship with Christ, not drive believers away from Christ by planting doubts about God's Word in our hearts.
Right now I'm reading through this Bible and I love it, because I'm one who is always thinking about the historical aspect of the Bible regarding the events that take place in the scriptures, namely the Old Testament. I have questions and It helps me to understand better the ancient cultures and practices of a particular time period that archeologist's have discovered and how it lines up with events recorded in scripture. So from a cultural/historical perspective this Bible is invaluable. And for me this is what I feel I need right now in my Christian walk.
However I agree with you, the commentary is not a commentary that endorses the Bible as God's inspired word but it doesn't reject it as such either. It's a non-biased secular approach to the Bible and how from a cultural standpoint things line up with some of the events/stories from scripture. However reading some of the commentaries regarding Christ's Resurrection , the commentary does support that, but again it's from a cultural point of view.
For example it said that if the resurrection was something that was made up, they (The Gospel writers) would not have mentioned that a woman saw Jesus post resurrection first because at that time women were not considered to be credible witnesses, they would have said it was a man to make it sound more believable. Therefore the Gospel writers were stating a fact. Which is fine, but as believers we also need to go by faith and not by sight or reason that Christ rose from the dead. So yes, we should read this with a err of caution, and it's not recommended for young or immature believers.
Yes I am interested in it for Archaeological and Historical research purposes and interest of the history behind the bible, most of my other bibles are faith focused so this I think would be a nice addition.
I have this Bible. It is certainly very beautiful and I enjoy the chronological aspect to it, especially in the NT. I must admit that thus far I hadn’t picked up anything in the notes with which I’d disagree. I shall look closer now. I’ve seen it reviewed on two other bible review channels and neither had mentioned concerns about the study notes. So I do appreciate your in depth review and the fact that you actually looked at the contributors and some of what is said in the study notes. As always your review is very well balanced and thoughtful. Much appreciated. 😊
Thank you, Sandra, for your experience with this bible shedding light on how it's been for you so far.
Thank you so much .. you are always so thorough .. God bless you
Thank you for your honest review Tim, much appreciated. BTW, love your keyboard. Also, I love your background music.
Thank you for this honest review! I had it on my wishlist for reading chronologically, as well as for studying. I had initially thought it might be better to get the Thomas Nelson chronological Bible than the Tyndale Bible (Chronological Life Application Study Bible - CLASB) just because Nelson's wouldn't be a repeat of the Life Application study notes. But I'm glad I didn't. I found CLASB at a thrift store for $3.
Very helpful!
It's a beautiful Bible! Thank you for a thorough review.
And I like the background music, very soothing.
Thanks for the information. More detail than I will ever consume.
I like music. You have a nice clear voice for these presentations.
Thanks Tim for this review...always looking forward watching them.
still looking forward to your NKVJ give away in Feb. Lol
Roderick from Canada.
Hi Tim I agree with you 👍 thanks.
Thank you for pointing out that the perspective is not really conservative. That is very important to know. I am in my to's and have stydy the Word of God most of my life. I am not buying Bible's for myself, but I do purchase them as gifts. So you have saved me heartache by pointing out what you did.
Hello Nice Bible I believe any Bible you fan read and get and understand the word of God is beautiful 😍 Keep doing what you do Keep the Faith
I may have to pass on this one. I went through the NLT Chronological Life Application Study Bible and had a blast. Great experience and no notes that cast doubt on trusting God’s Word.
I was going to buy this Bible till I saw this video. I'll pass, I believe there will be an ESV chronological Bible coming out this year, hopefully it is more Christian centred.
I Tim , I have order the nlt chronicle study bible different from the one you viewed. Plenty of study notes etc . Cannot wait 😀love your channel. Nothing like a good study bible with colour, notes, study notes and devotional all in one be great with questions. My problem is I wish they do a catholic one .
Not sure this is a Bible edition I['d buy, but Thomas Nelson makes beautiful Bibles.
Thanks for the review and insights into its usefulness. I have had a copy of this bible since 2012. I want to do a deep dive into the scriptures and thought a chronological view point would be interesting. When you said it leans towards a secular view point made me take a step back. Could you note a few instances where you see this creeping into this bible? I would like to understand your point better. Glad I watched your video. Have a blessed day.
Spot on review. I just got it. I hold to infability and inerrency of the Bible. So when I read about the other myths that this study Bible described, I have no problem. It actually fascinates me that the gods of the myths are so inferior to the one God who is the creator and holy. They sin just like man hence man-created and created in the image of man. But if people don't have a good handle of how the Bible came to be and who God is, they might be easily impressionable. I would not get this as a first study Bible.
I don't regard this Bible as particularly secular. In fact, I'd argue that it bends over backwards to avoid offending fundamentalists even as it tries to be somewhat historically accurate. It frequently takes the following approach: "Tradition says this. Modern scholarship says that. We're not taking a side." A secular Bible wouldn't worry about appealing to conservatives.
On the other hand, it comes across as informational rather than the typical evangelical standpoint of many Nelson products. I wanted people to really understand that this may not have what they would expect.
Thanks for the review. I'd like a chronological bible that's just a bible without the study notes
I realize this is an old post, but I recently read through the CSB Day By Day Chronological Bible. I found this very rewarding.
This edition does not have study notes, but there are short narrative bridges inserted At the beginning of each day's reading. These are marked in a blue background to distinguish them from the text. I ended up ignoring those additions as well as ignoring the daily divisions. So the way this is set up, it is easy to just read the Biblical text chronologically. By ignoring the daily divisions, I also finished in much less time than a year.
I found that I really like the CSB. I also greatly appreciated reading New Testament letters in context (inserted into the book of Acts in the approximate time that they were written.)
I have a question, is there a Chronological Bible you recommend? I really am looking for a Chronological Bible? Thank you in advance. God bless you.
Did you notice that a good number of the Study Notes seem to talk about Palestine as a Country, rather than simply an area in Israel?
Yeah, I'm getting deep in this Bible. The early notes seem confusing to me. Things like references to "Palestine" and the copious notes about the parallel religions of the times. It seemed like they were trying to discredit the people of the text's belief in the one true God. As I read deeper into the book, it does a better job of explaining the background and traditions of what was going on at the time of text. I will continue to read the timeline of this book with a slanted, critical eye on the notes. I appreciate your mixed feelings. I also appreciate that you are one of the few reviewers that actually read the background notes on this book. Thanks
For what it's worth, "Palestine" is what the geographical region has been known as for millennia (The Jerusalem Post used to be called The Palestine Post before 1948, in fact). We modern Western evangelicals tend to have an almost allergic reaction to the term because of various Christian Zionism/Dispensational influences we've been exposed to over the past 50 years or so. But the term itself should be no more of a concern than terms like "Galilee", "Canaan", or "Transjordan."
Thanks for the great review. Your honesty is a great blessing to hear. I am looking for a chronlogical bible and having been exposed to liberal theological thought (and still showing the bruises), l am going to give this obe a miss.
I had the same concerns about this Study Bible. It seemed to lower the scripture to an equal level with all the other secular writings and religious practices during at the time. Though that made me sad, it really pointed out the fact that Satan has a counterfeit for everything God ordained.
I have this Bible as well, and I will say I don't necessarily disagree with you, Tim, but from what I've read so far in this Bible... the study notes are decent (not too bad), but in my opinion, the NKJV Study Bible (previously called the Nelson Study Bible) has better notes. I will have to read more notes in my Chronological Bible 🙂👍
Which would you recommend from a theologically conservative perspective though? Thank you for the info.
WHICH ONE WOULD BE GOOD FOR A NEW CHRISTIAN?
I highly recommend a new Christian start reading a Bible in a translation they can understand and attend a church that faithfully and clearly explains Scripture.
I'd encourage you to read the notes a little more extensively. I don't think you can really judge it overall by that single comment about the authorship of the Pentateuch. It doesn't deny inspiration at all. I've read through about half of it and I've found it to be very much in line with conservative evangelicalism.
Are any of contributors associated with the Union Theological Seminary?
I would like to get the Hardcover version of this. Much cheaper.
Thank you for this video.I wonder if this is the same Bible as Reese Chronological Bible which I think came out sometime in the 1980's?
@Jose Enrique Agutaya They are two different Bibles. Interestingly enough, I have both!
@@WillenaFlewelling How do you like the Reese?
@@JerseyGurl4Life I bought it for my husband in 1985, and haven’t used it much myself. It looks good, as far as it goes - it is a chronological Bible, but not a study Bible, so no study notes.
is this bible correct in its chronological order?
In English epoch is pronounced e-pock, like e-mail, or e-book, Tim. It looks like a pretty comprehensive study bible but is disappointing that Thomas Nelson would publish a bible that may be secular in its appeal, though.
In other English speaking countries they pronounce it that way but here in the USA we do not pronounce it that way. It’s so weird and can be so confusing but I think from your accent on your videos (which I enjoy) sounds Australian so your country tends to follow the anglicized way of saying things as well as spelling. Have a blessed day sister in Christ.
@@thewordgiveslife6610 That's correct, we speak English in Australia. If Americans speak English, as well, then the pronounciation would be the same. To say "epic: for epoch is an arror in my opinion. Epic is a different word with a different meaning! Nice to hear that you watch a few of my vids...thank you, and God bless!
I thought Tim was saying epic instead of epoch too. I'm from New Zealand.
@@richardvoogd705 😁
Tim do you recommend the CSB chronological over this one?
I don't have a CSB Chronological to compare, but probably yes
@@AFrischPerspective Thanks brother
I didn’t know CSB had one
I realize this is an old post, but I recently read through the CSB Day By Day Chronological Bible. I found this very rewarding.

I found that I really like the CSB. I also greatly appreciated reading New Testament letters in context (inserted into the book of Acts in the approximate time that they were written.)
I prefer the original Life & Times Historical Reference Bible. Less colorful and gaudy. Wish they offered more than NIV or NKJV.
Very good review, but I would prefere to listen to you withwout the psychedelic "music" in the background.
Great review. I was looking at purchasing the NIV First Century Study Bible. I looked at Rom 1:27 It clearly refers to male homosexuality....men committing shameful acts with other men.
The notes for this verse said that this verse isn't about homosexuality but rather paedophilia.
No way was I going to buy this Bible. It went back on the shelf......
So, in your eyes, pedophilia is ok??
The copyright page clenched it for me. I will never, ever again buy another Bible printed in China.
I agree but that's hard to find unless you spend a 150$ or more on a premium bible
@@shanedarden5238 TBS bibles are reasonably priced and mostly printed in Belarus, though to be fair that has its own issues.
not a big fan of the background music
The irony of a Bible printed in China makes me scratch my head.
I got one a few years ago, and realized pretty quickly that I did NOT like it. The study notes make you question your faith and the the validity of scripture. It’s a really dumb Bible. There are other good chronological options with notes by Christians. I purchased the Reese Chronological Study Bible to replace it.
