With dozens of books, unfamiliar names, and seemingly random events, it's hard to know where to start—or how to make sense of it all. The Story of Salvation walks Catholics through the 70 key events of The Bible Timeline® Learning System, a color-coded approach developed by biblical scholar Jeff Cavins to reveal the overarching narrative of Scripture. These key events are like mile markers on a journey, helping you understand where the story is going, why it matters, and how each part contributes to God’s loving plan for humanity—a story that includes you. Whether you’re new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this guide will: Summarize each key event and its significance Highlight where the full story can be found in Scripture Help you understand how the entire Bible fits together Build a foundation for a lifetime of reading and understanding God’s Word By following this clear and chronological path, you’ll begin to see the Bible not as a confusing set of ancient texts, but as one unified story of salvation.
