What you have here is a basic outline of the nine eras of Old Testament Biblical history, a brief description of the Intertestamental period, and the two eras of New Testament history. Each era includes estimated dates and a list of Biblical books which provide accounts of that period.

It is here, I think, that Biblical theology comes most in conflict with macro-evolutionary ideas. There is such a concept as "Theistic Evolution" which essentially claims that there is no necessary contradiction between Biblical theology and Darwinian-type evolution.

The following is a reading plan that I developed for some newer disciples / followers of Jesus to help them get a good picture of what is going on in Scripture from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22. Our English Bibles do not follow a clear chronological order (particularly in the Old Testament), so many people who read the Bible straight through aren't able to, say, summarize the Biblical narrative as a whole. This is a bit of a problem as I believe that a developing healthy understanding of the Bible's story (and my/your place in it) is an essential component of discipleship.
