Covenant: A Chronological and Summarised Retelling of the Bible Story

by Daniel Gilbert

The Bible is the greatest story ever told, but it isn’t always easy to follow. Reading it from cover to cover, the structure can feel confusing, with overlapping accounts, books out of order, and long sections that can make it hard to keep track of the bigger picture.

Covenant : A Chronological and Summarised Retelling of the Bible Story, offers a fresh way to experience Scripture as a full but condensed chronological retelling of the biblical story. It brings together scattered threads, harmonises overlapping narratives, and places psalms, prophecies, and letters into their historical context, providing a coherent view of the narrative within the Bible.

The book is detailed enough to give you the full sweep of the biblical story, but is short enough to be read in just a matter of hours. It's written in plain, accessible language, and each section includes chapter and verse references, so you can easily return to the original texts for deeper study. It can also be used as a full chronological reading plan for those who want to read the Bible fully, whilst serving as a tool to provide summaries of some of the more difficult passages..

Whether you’re approaching the Bible for the first time or looking for a clear overview to guide your study, Covenant offers a fresh and practical way to see the God's story as a whole.
