The Bible was completed over thousands of years, and it has been around 2,000 years since the final recorded events occurred. That makes it difficult enough to understand the timing of each book. Add to that the calendar changes over time, and that we use a different calendar year now, and it is hard to put dates together. Jim Liles’ book, Earth’s Sacred Calendar works to help people studying the Bible to connect the dates.

Many modern Bibles have footnotes that tell how our current months relate to the months in ancient Israel. They can also tell the dates that events occurred based on archeological evidence. However, these notes are short, and don’t explain the background in much detail, if any. Jim Liles has went beyond this and made his research available in an easy to use book.

Earth’s Sacred Calendar matches up the events to our current way of tracking time. adjusting for calendar differences and changes, Liles shows the timeline of Biblical history. All through the Old Testament, from creation to the kings to the prophets, dates are given so that we can have a better understanding of the time frame involved. He also includes information about his research so that you can see how he arrived at the dates.

This book would be an excellent reference to use during research or Bible study.

I received a free copy of Earth’s Sacred Calendar from the author in exchange for an honest review.
