Overview

"The Bible contains many wonderful and amazing stories about human beings, their place in the universe, and their relationship to God. An important aspect of these stories is their chronology in comparison to other records of human history. A previous study by the author focused on several of the patterns that can be employed in establishing and clarifying the chronology of the Bible (L. W. Casperson, Patterns of Biblical Chronology; for a review see Vetus Testamentum, Vol. 65, Issue 4, pp. 659-660, 2015). The emphasis was on the time period from Abraham to the end of the Old Testament era. In the present study, that period extends from the beginning to the end of the earth. Dates are inferred for specific Bible-related events including the garden of Eden, flood, and exodus stories, as well as many others. The word ""Excursions"" in the title refers to the occasional chronological inquiries undertaken here into other historical topics that are not usually considered to be part of the biblical collection"

(Vetus Testamentum, Vol. 65, Issue 4, pp. 659-660, 2015)
