The Plane View of the Bible

<p class=ql-align-justify>The Bible is a big book. It has 1189 chapters. That is a big book! Moreover hundreds of people parade across its pages from the beginning of human existence to about AD 95. Hundreds of places including mountains valleys bodies of water nations cities and towns appear on the pages of Scripture. How is it possible to grasp so much material?</p><p class=ql-align-justify>What is needed is an overview of the entire Bible like getting an overview of a large city by flying over it in a small plane. A simple way to gain a plane view or overview of the Bible is by becoming aware of its time frames or historical periods. These <em>periods</em> usually contain one or two (sometimes more) main <em>characters</em> who lived at different<em> times</em> in various <em>places</em> and practiced various <em>customs</em>. To gain a basic understanding of the Bible start by exploring its historical periods identifying the main characters noting the dates and observing their locations actions and methods. This is the who what when where and how of the Bible. The historical periods of the Bible contain the who and what. Chronology indicates when. The geography of the Bible focuses on where and the customs of the Bible reveal how people did things.</p><p class=ql-align-justify>In <em>The Plane View of the Bible</em> G. Michael Cocoris explains the ten historical periods of the Bible and in the process covers the main people events dates places customs and the archaeological proof for the historicity of each historical period. The plane view will make the Bible plain.</p><p class=ql-align-justify></p><p></p>
