Written by a religious scholar who has taught at high school, college and adult levels, this historical exploration is organized around the major civilizations and epochs of the ancient world, beginning with Sumer and ending with Rome. Author Bruce W. Gore provides a thorough overview of major empires, such as the Assyrians or Babylonians, as well as more modest civilizations, such as the Phoenicians or Hittites. Learn how Cyrus the Persian, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and others changed the course of Christianity. In the course of historical exploration, this account also examines questions that may have puzzled readers of the Bible in the past: • Who was Sennacherib? • To which Assyrian king did Jonah preach, and did this make any difference in history? • What did the “eight night visions” of Zechariah mean in light of the rule of Darius the Persian? Study the Bible with an eye on its ancient setting and develop an understanding of its key people, places and civilizations with Historical and Chronological Context of the Bible. Review: Story of the World - Every Christian home should have one of these. Great read and an excellent reference book to have. I ordered one for each member of my family. It took a while to deliver, but it does not disappoint! Review: Highly readable yet includes so many details! - The author teaches my kids and he is a true Renaissance man. This is not his only area of expertise--he has his Juris Doctorate, as well as a great knowledge of Philosophy and Ethics. My kids love him. But this is a book review so here are the facts: This is a huge volume written chronologically from the time of Sumer which ended in 2316BC to the Fall of Jerusalem in 70AD. Thankfully, it has a detailed index, however the index (not the text) is a bit difficult to read because of the fine print & the wide space between the subject and the page numbers. I use this book for two purposes: As a reference guide to look up details about various Bible characters & time periods since I teach a Bible Study Fellowship class. This is also the textbook for my 9th-grader whom I am currently home-schooling. I would have to say this is a bit much for a 9th grader to handle. Although readable, the details and facts are overwhelming to absorb. He cannot take this all in without some direction on what the important points are to remember and why some things are more important than others. This would be an excellent text to use alongside a study of the Old Testament if you really wanted to understand the historical context and what was going on in the countries and cultures in and around Israel/Palestine. Overall, this is an essential reference for any Bible teacher or historian focusing on any time period from Gilgamesh (or Genesis) to Vespasian. And for those to whom it matters, this is not necessarily written from a Pre-millenial perspective, which I actually found rather interesting. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #80,272 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #581 in Ancient Civilizations | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 324 Reviews | ## Images ![Historical and Chronological Context of the Bible - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SR9NJ4tOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Story of the World *by A***R on June 23, 2026* Every Christian home should have one of these. Great read and an excellent reference book to have. I ordered one for each member of my family. It took a while to deliver, but it does not disappoint! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly readable yet includes so many details! *by L***Y on February 10, 2011* The author teaches my kids and he is a true Renaissance man.

This book is stunning at many levels. Initially, it is a visually attractive product -- an over-sized text, large print, interesting pictures and graphics throughout -- plus a beautiful, striking cover! More importantly, the interior does not disappoint. Mr. Gore tackles a daunting task -- covering massive chunks of history -- with a perfect mix of breadth and depth. His control of the narrative is impressive. His style is easy, clear and accessible. He gives the reader all of the "history stuff" and adds spicy, little-known details about famous people and places along the way. The subtitle is instructive. Understanding the world that shaped the Bible makes the Bible itself more three dimensional, more real,more human. I came away from the book thankful for all of the good work done for me by the author. He tells me things I really like knowing but have none of the drive necessary to find out on my own. The book does exactly what it's supposed to do -- it's an academically literate introduction to a massive subject -- and it's interesting! Mr. Gore has done all of the heavy lifting and the reader gets all the benefits. In sum, I agree with the writer's self-assessment. He's right when he describes the text as delivering the kind of classical education he wishes he could have received earlier in life. Lastly, it can also serve as a great teaching resource. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/61295929-historical-and-chronological-context-of-the-bible](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/61295929-historical-and-chronological-context-of-the-bible) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
