The Wonders of Bible Chronology is a study of the Biblical timeline by Philip Mauro, an author of Christian texts who acquired great fame in the early to mid 20th century.

In the case of complex stories such as the Seventy Weeks of Daniel, this book acts as a superb supplement to Bible study for the clarity Mauro imbues to the passages. These, accompanied by his chronological diagrams, shine a light on the books of the Bible - an understanding of the timeline was, for Mauro, crucial to experiencing the fullest wisdom and wonder present in the word of God. Through much of his long life, Philip Mauro worked where his gift for words could be put to good use. A successful lawyer who labored alongside the United States Supreme Court, it was only during his mid-forties that Philip Mauro experienced a revelation from the Lord and duly began to write books with the aim of enlightening his fellow Christians. This was a duty he accomplished with great reverence for the divine, until his death in 1952.

No one can doubt that the Bible has exerted a tremendous influence on Western civilization since the dawn of Christianity. But few of us have considered the precise nature of that influence in particular historical contexts. In this book, David Kling traces the fascinating story of how specific biblical texts have at different times emerged to be the inspiration of movements that have changed the course of history. By examining eight such pivotal texts, Kling elucidates the ways in which sacred texts continue to shape our lives as well as our history. Among the passages he discusses are: * "Upon this rock I will build my church" (Matthew 16:18), which inspired the formation of the papacy and has served as its foundation for centuries * "The righteous will live by faith" (Romans 1:17), which caught the imagination of Martin Luther and sparked the Protestant Reformation * "Go to Pharaoh and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord: Let my people go, so that they may worship me'" (Exodus 8:1), which has played an important and diverse role in African American history from early slave spirituals through the modern civil rights movement and beyond * "There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28), which has been adopted by feminists as a rallying cry in the battle for women's ordination Each of the historical episodes he explores--from the beginning of Christian monasticism to the emergence of Pentecostalism--is evidence of the dynamic interplay between Scripture and the social and cultural context in which it is interpreted. Kling's innovative study of this process shows how sacred texts can give life to social movements, and how powerful social forces can give new meaning to Scripture.
