Named for it's creator, Hon. S.C. Adams, this chart is a reproduction of a vintage resource that was first released around the time of and displayed at the centennial exposition. This chart is just as relevant impressive now, as we approach the semiquincentennial anniversary of our nation.

This chart clearly and beautifully illustrates important events since the beginning of time and presents a chronology determined by Usher who based the age of the earth on chronical information taken from Scripture. Each civilization and stream is clearly indicated and laid out so that you can see the connections between the different events around the world that were happening at the same point in time, as well as the effects of some of these events. The accompanying 64 page key gives a succinct overview of all of the major events within each stream presented here.

This would be a great resource to use alongside World's Story or any of the upper level MB courses. The PDF version is great for zooming in on specific parts of the timeline, but nothing can beat the impact of the physical format.

I will mention that there are some slightly graphic images of statues such as Colossus of Rhodes and the image from Nebuchadnezzar's Dream. There are also illustrations featuring a few major Greek deities. All of these are very minor and mainly confined to one or two panels.

Im overwhelmed by the amount of information on this chart! The timeline starts at creation and ends with the founding of America. I love how this chart allows you to see where major events in history happened in relation to other events, all while being anchored in Biblical history. I have the digital copy but this chart is so beautifully done and has so much information you are going to want the physical copy! This is an amazing resource to have whether for the Biblical history, history in general or to have for reference material. A key is included (64 pages) to explain the chart and history it contains. Worth the investment!

This an impressive visual timeline that traces biblical and world history from creation to modern times. Its fold-out design is striking, showing the flow of events, people, and civilizations in a single sweeping view. The chart connects Scripture with historical milestones, making it a valuable resource as a biblical perspective on history. Some of the smaller text and color choices can be hard to read, but it remains a beautifully made and thought-provoking resource that encourages deeper exploration of history through a biblical lens.

The Adams Chart of History is a great resource! It makes it possible to see all the events that were happening at the same time and where they were happening. It is handy to have while reading through the Bible or as a resource alongside your history lessons.
