Understanding biblical history will not only strengthen our ability to accurately interpret the Bible, it will also help us understand that God’s story continues to unfold and we each have a place in it! This free, printable Bible timeline will make it possible for any classroom or home to teach God’s unfolding story (the biblical story) to kids and learners of all ages. The biblical story is, after all, a true story that has unfolded in real history. A Bible timeline can make it much easier for children and adults alike to see where key events took place relative to other events and when they happened in history. Many people, including those who have been Christians for years, do not know Bible history. Revisions will be announced in our free, weekly newsletter. We anticipate making revisions to the timeline as we discover improvements and receive feedback from users. We also have a single-page handout of the timeline for learners to examine individually and keep. Below is a brief video explanation (less than a minute) of the timeline followed by two pictures of the assembled timeline or a segment of the timeline. The timeline can be downloaded here or by clicking on the Get Activity button below. Instructions for cutting and taping the pages together are printed on the pages.
Other resources related to the Bible timeline can be found here. We’ve also included the God’s Unfolding Story Narrative Elements so it will support those teaching kids God’s Unfolding Story. Selected events have been placed on the timeline, but reusable timeline markers are also provided so additional events can be placed on the timeline as needed and then removed so the timeline doesn’t become too cluttered.
