The main purpose of this book is to present the broad sweep of Bible history. It spans over two millennia of history from Abraham, placed approximately at 2000 B.C., through to the Revelation seen by the apostle John, which closes the New Testament at the end of the first century A.D. These limits are expanded by consideration of the biblical book of Genesis before Abraham, by surveys of Mesopotamia and Egypt, and by a look at the spread of Christianity in the first three centuries after the last book of the New Testament was written.
