Order Description

Prepare a synthesis of Old Testament chronology. The synthesis comprises a single-sheet chronological chart of the major events and players of all of the historical books covered in BE103 (including the postexilic period). This will be demonstrated in class lecture and discussion. Refer to the review sheet (in Section V.A. of this syllabus) and include on your chart all the rulers of Israel and Judah that are listed (i.e., the ones we want you to know, not necessarily all the kings), the rulers of the foreign powers, key characters such as certain of the prophets (Elijah, Elisha, and Micaiah) and postexilic leaders (Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther), and key dates.
