This book is a really nice read, the paragraph & spacing style of the printed pages allow readers to associate the material with any other books that aren't Bibles OR college material of the 2 column type. This Bible, specifically the 2013 version, is about 3lbs or so. The size is 8.25" tall, 5.33" wide, 1.66" thick (21cm tall, 13.75cm wide, 3.75cm thick) so it's not too small OR too large. The material format and print size, between 10 & 12 font, mean that it's easier to read than the smaller print Bibles. The author's have taken the time to work on this book as is seen with how the material is compiled and shared.The book's only faults, which I like, are that the events are chronologically ordered by the events that happen not the time of the writing about the events. For some reader's that is a factor that they can use to find MORE value from with the reading. For example the series of books about Jesus' on earth were all recorded at different times and for different readers, there are different timelines associated for readers, soat times I'll use the choice that's different for my understanding, but I really like having events in series it really assists in helping me understand described actions and results more.This Bible has MARK's writing from about 55 to 65AD, LUKE's from 60AD, MATTHEW's from 60 to 65AD, JOHN's from 85 to 90AD... The New World Translation timeline is different MATTHEW's writing completed in 41AD, LUKE's writing completed between 56 and 58AD, MARK's 60 to 65AD, and finally JOHN's ending at about 98AD. This means reading understanding can differ based on opinions of when things were written, I'm not going to historically tell you details of this info now, but it's useful to consider the various writing times as well as the different writer's reasons for writing to the readers they were sharing with, because of how this varies what they share and how they share it, it can also influence considerations of what was written when and how.MATTHEW as a Jew and a tax collector, was a person that kept accounts of things, which likely also means he took notes of stuff over time, and his accounts were some of the first in writing mainly because he was sharing with Jews the stories he had gathered with time. The Jews who came into contact with disciples of Jesus, those who were impacted by events with his death, those who witnessed his resurrection and many more likely had questions. Because he was writing within 10 years of Jesus' death it's assumed that a lot of his info could have been a compilation of his notes from events, but also this means those details could have been referenced by the other gospel writers.Luke and Mark wrote their scriptural accounts about 15 to 20 years after Matthew. It's supposed that LUKE was writing material in a detailed manner that is often attributed to how as a physician he would be noting details of types related to physical aspects and results. MARK primarily with early Christians, partially because of his age with events and because of how he related with the Christian church/ congregational/ organizational developments. "Ancient tradition indicates that Peter provided the basic information for Mark's Gospel..According to ancient tradition, Mark's gospel was first made public in Rome...Although Mark appears to have written primarily for the Romans, this record does contain [info] from the Hebrew scriptures." (Aid to Bible Understanding, p. 1113; 1114, 1971). That shouldn't be a surprise if this Mark's "Hebrew name was John". (Aid to Bible Understanding, p. 1111, 1971).The people were distinct religiously in many ways...but the story was the same in many respects. Differences were from how people lived and what they believed as readers. The writings of John are totally distinct because what he wrote was after living times with the early Christians being killed and hurt from belief's about the Christ. In addition John had witnessed the events of visions and more that caused him to write Revelations. This means his writing of the details of John often had bits and parts that were missed by those living around Jesus and other gospel writers.This chronological Bible has shared for us a way to read through most of the Bible with a lot more insight into the historical nature of the scriptures. I love that the compilers took the time to do this for me. In addition I appreciate that they compiled the material with aspects like the timeline of events with Judah and Israel, the writing time references they used, the additional historical notes and details that are added as references, plus footnotes that allow readers to find more info about the scriptures as they read. The yearly timeline shared doesn't need to be used at all for great reading through this book.I do miss that there is no separation of the Hebrew & Greek scriptural sections. BUT overall this is a great Bible to have. While it's not ordered canonically it does have the scripture chapters, versus listed with the reading, so an individual can pull out the classical canonical format and compare OR even read those scriptures if they find the chronological style not as useful with times and works being done. For instance if I was at a meeting and someone told me to open up Jeremiah 12:3 it would be easier to do that with a canonical Bible. I could still do that with this Bible by going to the Canonical Scripture Index at the end of the Bible to find what pages had that scripture. BUT it would be a lot faster in some situations just using the classic styling Bible's for some uses, but I really really like this style for reading and understanding the scriptural story better.An issue was found at the end of Judges, chapters 19-21, that was chronologically out of place because Phineas Aaron's grandson was high priest, but Tyndale publishers got my message and sent thanks. Maybe the newest editions have this event discrepancy ordered accurately.
