Follow this research path
This page organizes the supporting material for this era. It does not turn a chronological calculation, expanded source, or historical setting into a statement of Scripture.
Begin in Guided Study
Use the lessons for Babylon, captivity, Persia, return, Greece, Rome, and the continuing connection of the biblical account.
See the larger sequence
Use the chronology to follow the movement from one kingdom and period to the next.
Continue into the published research story
The books carry the Jerusalem-and-kingdoms narrative farther while preserving the project’s source distinctions.

The path now reaches from Babylon through Persia and Greece, through the Maccabean period and Rome, and into the opening Gospel connections. Scripture, expanded sources, chronology, and historical context remain visibly separated throughout.
