The Dated Events of the Old Testament

The tables in this little volume present 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, also its date in terms of the Christian era. They also present to the eye a conspectus of the evidence by which each event is dated. - from the Preface.
