Introduction

I've wanted to blog for a long time but I didn't think I would end up doing it for my timeline. Well, I am blogging about my timeline. Bear with me; it's going to take me a while to get used to this...

I've toyed with the idea of making a timeline before, usually when I'm studying one of the Bible's historical books. I've started several but have allowed myself to get sidetracked with programming projects to automatically draw them. Not this time! I will not write any programs before compiling all the data (well, at least not until I have enough data to define a db schema)!

My approach to this timeline will likely leave me less than completely satisfied but I believe I'll benefit from the effort. I say this because I don't believe that I can make a definitive timeline from Genesis through Revelation (Don't get me started about Revelation!) because I don't expect to find that everything has been revealed.  I expect to benefit from the study in that I'll get a closer familarization with the scriptures while I struggle with the clues that are provided (some dates aren't going to be immediately obvious) like in my next post...
