A visual journey through the story of the Bible, the Church, and the world.
What you will discover
Seeing the biblical story on a single timeline reveals patterns that are difficult to notice when reading the Bible in isolated passages.
The timeline highlights:
- How biblical events align with major world civilisations
- Where church history shaped modern theology
- The historical context behind many misunderstood passages
- How the story of Israel connects with the wider history of nations
- The development of ideas that shaped modern Christianity
Where it all started
The questions started when my life stopped making sense.
During a financial crisis, I turned to the one place I trusted most for answers: the church. I expected clarity, wisdom, and practical guidance. Instead, I discovered something unsettling—the explanations I received didn’t match my experience or the Scriptures themselves.
So I did what any desperate believer might do: I went back to the Bible.
The deeper I searched, the more questions appeared. Different interpretations. Conflicting teachings. Passages used to support completely opposite conclusions.
For someone raised to believe that good Christians shouldn’t question their teachers or the church, this was deeply unsettling. But now I had no choice but to ask. And every answer seemed to open three new questions about context, interpretation, and timeline—questions that would eventually drive the creation of the Bible Timeline Project.
The birth of the project
As a graphic designer and strategist, I’m trained to take complex information and simplify it visually. But the biblical story, church history, and world events are far from simple.
I set aside my assumptions and began reconstructing the story from scratch, piece by piece. Before long, my dining room table disappeared beneath books, notes, and diagrams. The puzzle kept expanding—until it became clear: if I wanted to truly understand the story, I needed to see it all at once.
That’s how the Bible Timeline Project was born. Over fifteen years, I’ve mapped my research onto a 5-meter by 1-meter digital canvas, organising the people, events, kingdoms, and turning points that shape the biblical narrative.
Why it matters
What began as a personal search for clarity became a rich tapestry of connections. Patterns emerged. Historical developments illuminated theological shifts. And the Bible itself revealed its power as a two-edged sword, capable of challenging assumptions and shedding light on God’s character, His Kingdom, and His love for humanity.
This timeline is more than a visual map—it’s a tool for anyone who wants to see the bigger story and understand how everything fits together.
