Author Description

Excerpt from The Dated Events of the Old Testament: Being a Presentation of Old Testament Chronology The tables in this little volume present to the eye a reasonably complete list of the events narrated in the Old Testament, with their time relations: first of all the relations of each event to other near events, Israelitish or foreign, and also its date in terms of the Christian era. The tables distinguish between the dates which are fixed by positive evidence and those which are matters of conjectural opinion. They also present to the eye a conspectus of the evidence by which each event is dated, and the reasons for the variant Opinions that men hold concerning the chronology. And not least important, they make graphic by means of their blank spaces the fact that in the Old Testament we have, never an attempt at a com plete history, but everywhere narratives of selected incidents.
