RESEARCH LIBRARY
Start with a question.
Selected biblical questions and chronological connections from the research behind the books.
Was Shem alive during Abraham's lifetime?
Follow the overlap through the chronology.
GENEALOGYWho were the Amalekites descended from?
Trace Amalek through Esau and Eliphaz.
BABELWhat language did the world speak before Babel?
Separate what Genesis says from what it does not name.
KINGDOMSWhat kingdoms were developing around Abraham?
Keep Abraham's account inside the wider world described in the research.
RESEARCH PATHS
Continue by era.
The Study App can bring you here from any lesson. Choose the research path that matches the part of the biblical account you are studying. These paths organize the supporting material; they do not change the source classification of the lesson.
Who was alive at the same time?
Follow early generations, lifetime overlaps, Babel, Abraham, and the nations developing around the family line.
ISRAEL, JUDAH & THE PROPHETSWhich prophets spoke during which kings?
Read Kings, Chronicles, and the prophets together so reigns, warnings, places, and later connections stay in view.
CAPTIVITY & RETURNHow did Jerusalem move from Babylon toward return?
Follow the fall of Jerusalem, Babylon, Daniel, Cyrus, and the rebuilding period as one connected path.
GREECE, MACCABEES & ROMEHow do the later kingdoms connect?
Continue through Greece, the successors, Antiochus, the Maccabean period, and Rome while keeping source categories distinct.
FOLLOW THE CONNECTION
Question → Source → Chronology → Connection.
Begin with a biblical question, examine what the text states, see how the chronology connects the generations, and continue into the larger account. The published book becomes relevant where the research reaches Israel, Judah, their kings, and the prophets.
FREE READER EDITION
Will Salas Biblical Chronology Research Tables — 2026
Five selected chronology tables are preserved in the public Reader Edition. The Reader Edition is a selection, not the complete research archive. Supporting original research files used by the website are being added separately so readers can follow the calculations for themselves.
START HERE
Learn how the research is built before reading the conclusions.
The research library now separates the biblical statement from the chronological calculation. Start with the method page to see what a chronology year means, how lifetime overlaps are calculated, and how Scripture, Will’s Chronology, Expanded Source, and Historical Context remain distinct.
SUPPORTING PUBLIC RESEARCH
Follow the calculation, not only the conclusion.
The interactive chronology uses year placements from Will Salas's private master research. The complete workbook is not published as a downloadable archive. Selected tables are provided in the public Reader Edition so readers can inspect examples while the full master chronology remains private.
Research standard: Known, calculated, sourced, observed, and unknown are not the same thing. The website keeps Scripture, Will's Chronology, Expanded Source, and Historical Context visibly distinct.
HOW TO READ THE RESEARCH
Scripture and chronological study are identified separately.
Names, ages, passages, and events can come directly from the biblical text. Calculated or arranged chronological relationships are presented as the author's study unless the cited text explicitly states the relationship.
