Outline of Old Testament history - monarchy onwardsTony Watkins
A timeline of the Old Testament from the beginning of monarchy in Israel. A couple of the prophets' dates are very uncertain, notably Joel and Obadiah.
My timelines of Old Testament history. There are also versions in other languages either available now or coming very soon – please look through my Slideshare uploads for these.
The two different chronologies for the patriarchs are because there are two significantly different ways of dating the Exodus. You'll need to look at the evidence and draw your own conclusions! Note that these are still a work in progress, but they're available now for those who want them in this unfinished form.
Updated 11 Jun 2012 to correct a mistyped date and in July 2014 because I'd failed to notice that Leviticus and Numbers were the wrong way round!
I used to teach a simple Old Testament introduction using some ideas from Melton Short's book, The OT made simple. Recently I found the notes and thought if you are not familiar with the OT storyline you might find this a useful quick introduction.
As part of Biblefresh, Wycliffe Bible Translators have been holding a series of evening classes, helping people to interact more with the Bible.
In this, the third in the series, Katy Barnwell, who works with Old Testament translations in Nigeria, talks about why it's important that the church today continues to engage with the Old Testament.
God reveals exciting truths about His nature through the pages of the Old Testament. We can discover many spiritual gems by knowing the story of the Old Testament and how the various books of the Bible fit into that story. John Beene taught an Overview of the Old Testament at the November 20, 2011 congregational worship. The class included timelines, pictures, and maps to help the scriptures come to life. Listen to the lessons, view the Power Point presentation, and use the Old Testament Timelines to further your own study of God's story in the Old Testament.

National Gallery, London - Selected MasterpeicesJerry Daperro
The National Gallery of London is one of the top art gallery for European paintings in the world. Its collection covers all the major developments in European painting from its beginning all the way to the 19C. It also includes paintings from all the major European masters in its collection, from Van Eyck. Leonardo to the Impressionists. There are very few paintings available by the leading Italian and the Low Countries in the world. With the Louvre and the Uffizi of Florence, the National Gallery of London is in the first rank of European gallery. A visit to the National Gallery in London for an afternoon will give you good feel of what European painting is about.
Founded in 1824, the National Gallery is one of the youngest painting galleries of Europe. Unlike most other great European galleries, the core of the collection was not a royal or princely collections taken over by the state. The English Royal collection remains as a separate entity, although many of the royal paintings are on display in the National Gallery on loan. Its collection is renowned for what is probably the most balanced collection of painting in the world. Today the collection has only about two thousand paintings, less than half the number in the Louvre and about two third of the Hermitage collection in St Petersburg.
As the collection belongs to the nation, it is FREE to visit the National Gallery, London. It is opened to the general public and to all overseas visitors as well. It is a shrine for the achievement of humanity, a truly deserve the title a gallery for the world. In this slideshow I have selected six paintings by the best historical masterpieces from its collections. I would like to dedicate this presentation to anyone who help to make the entrance to the gallery free. It is not only a celebration of human achievement it also inclusive all men and enhance the enjoyment of the visit.

The Paradise
Background, center: Eve is created out of one of Adam's ribs. On the foreground the two are addressed by God, who often made a stroll through the Garden.
Background, center-right: Eve has Adam take a bite from the forbidden fruit. Suddenly they are ashamed of their nudity, and hide behind a bush. But the archangel finds them and
chases them out of the Garden (background left).
40. ALLORI, Cristofano
Judith with the Head of Holofernes
Judith was a beautiful Jewish widow, who entered the tent of the Assyrian general Holofernes, decapitated him with his own sword, and brought his head back to her people.
According to his biographer Baldinucci, Allori painted this work in part as an autobiographical account of his love affair with Maria de Giovanni Mazzafirri, which ended badly. The figure
of Judith, Baldinucci claimed, resembles ‘La Mazzafirra’, the servant in the background her mother, and the severed head of Holofernes is a portrait of the artist himself.
The inclusion of the inscription in the lower right hand corner of the painting hints at the self-referential nature of the work. When the poet Giovanni Battista Marino saw a version of this
painting in Paris, he specifically read the work as autobiographical, commenting that Holofernes is killed twice, first by the darts of Cupid and second by the sword of Judith. Allori was
by no means unique amongst his artistic contemporaries in his desire to make the story relevant to his own experience and the picture belongs to a tradition in which artists included
portraits within apocryphal narratives.
This subject became one of Allori’s best-known compositions, as the existence of numerous versions of the subject by the artist and his workshop attests. This is an especially fine
early rendering; the realistic, intensely particularized features of Judith are coarser than in other versions, suggesting that it is a credible portrait of the artist's persecutor.
Even though carefully executed preparatory drawings have been identified for this work, Allori seems to have made numerous small adjustments to the composition while painting.
Later versions of the same subject, including that of 1620 in the Pitti Palace, are more firmly executed and lack the vibrancy and painterly qualities of this one.
The work is characteristic of Allori’s use of rich colours and his sophisticated rendering of texture and form. The carefully conceived composition and the dramatically positioned head
of Holofernes, which seems about to emerge into the space of the beholder, add to the emotional intensity of the painting and clearly indicate why this influential work became
emblematic of Florentine Baroque painting for centuries thereafter.
41. BOTTICELLI, Sandro
The Return of Judith to Bethulia
The Biblical tale of Judith, who slew Holofernes, the Assyrian king's commander-in-chief, because he represented a deadly threat for the Hebrews in Bethulia, was one of the favourite
subjects of the Florentine Renaissance. Judith was considered the prototype of female strength, since she alone had summoned up the courage to murder the tyrant.
In The Return of Judith to Bethulia, Botticelli shows us Judith together with Abra, her maid, the two of them striding out in a well-nigh furious manner. Abra is carrying Holofernes'
severed head on her own head, while Judith has an olive branch in her hand as a symbol of peace, which she is bringing to the Hebrews.
Botticelli has succeeded here in capturing both movement and stillness in a unique balance. Judith is pausing a moment in her striding forward to turn towards the observer, self-
assured if not without a touch of melancholy, exactly as if she wished to present herself as the victor.
42. TINTORETTO
Creation of the Animals
In a blaze of golden light, which does not entirely escape the darkness still partly enveloping the newly created earth God the Father is portrayed as if suspended in mid-air in the
act of creation. The animals rush forward from behind him while the birds shoot across the sky and the fishes dart through the water like arrows from his hand. The dramatic wind-
swept scene is furrowed by the profiles of the animals which cross the canvas in running lines, conveying with extraordinary concision and expressiveness the theme of the work.
Like Pietro Aretino's novel on the subject of Genesis, Tintoretto's painting shows the unicorn (right). The alleged curative and decontaminating qualities of the narwhal tusk, an
essential item in every Renaissance cabinet of curiosities, were regarded as proof of the existence of this fabulous creature. Exotic creatures like the ostrich walking on the shore
were much admired as gifts from guests to the princely courts of northern Italy, and were portrayed in drawings or engravings. As a true Venetian, however, Tintoretto here devotes
particular artistic skill to the fishes, including sturgeon, salmon and red mullet.
43. BATONI, Pompeo
Susanna and the Elders
The present Susanna and the Elders is a testament to Batoni's considerable stature: he was the dominant painter in Rome in the middle years of the 18th century. His
contemporaries recognized this preeminence, a position which Batoni maintained for a period of nearly fifty years. The canvas was painted by the artist in 1751 for Ernst Guido, Graf
von Harrach, one of the most important collectors of the day, and remained in the family's collection for nearly 250 years. The Susanna and the Elders is inarguably one of Batoni's
finest history pictures and one of his very few treatments of an Old Testament subject.
44. GENTILESCHI, Orazio
Joseph and Potiphar's Wife
Joseph was bought by Potiphar, the captain of Pharaoh’s guard, and appointed overseer of his household. One day Potiphar’s wife caught him by his garment and said ‘lie with me’;
Joseph fled, leaving the garment in her hands. The painting was one of a group by Gentileschi brought together by Henrietta Maria to decorate the Queen’s House, Greenwich.
This painting depicts a scene from the Book of Genesis (39: 7-20) which tells how Joseph was bought by Potiphar, the Egyptian captain of Pharaoh’s guard, who appointed him
overseer of his household. Potiphar’s wife attempted to seduce him on several occasions, although he rejected her advances. One day, ‘she caught him by his garment, saying, ‘Lie
with me’. But he left his garment in her hands, and fled and got out of the house’. Later she denounced Joseph as the seducer, using the garment as evidence.
To explain the light in the scene we must imagine a single, powerful lamp placed just in front of the painting at its right edge: Joseph’s legs cast their shadow backwards; the bed
legs cast theirs across to the left. This strong, dramatic and literal-minded lighting recalls Caravaggio as it accentuates the cool flesh of Potiphar’s wife and her beautifully white,
though dishevelled, sheets, and tellingly catches Joseph’s backward glance. The actors in the scene wear contemporary clothes, but this element of realism is transformed by the
virtuoso rendering of fabrics in highly saturated colours, so characteristic of Gentileschi’s late style.
The studied finish and theatrical elegance of this painting are characteristic of the taste of Charles I’s court, for which elaborate and artificial masques were created. This refinement
was also part of an international court style which had developed from Caravaggio and which can also be seen in the smooth finish and rich colours of Gerrit van Honthorst and
Simon Vouet. Gentileschi is sometimes criticised for choosing visual pleasure rather than psychological intensity. This painting has both: the colours clash, particularly the red,
burgundy, orange and gold; the rich hangings suggest conspiracy as well as sensuality. The dominant effect of the painting is claustrophobia: an illusionistic curtain (which seems
almost to be covering the surface of the painting) closes off a shallow space; even the implied positions of the viewer and the light source are thrust up against this scene of
dangerous seduction.
45. SIRANI, Giovanni Andrea
Esther before Ahasuerus
Esther goes into the throne room without asking for an audience; which is normally punished by death, even for the king’s wife she is.
While she is exiled in Babylon like many Jews, her beauty has allowed her to become the wife of King Ahasuerus who does not know her religion.
Being informed of a plot against her people, she has decided to speak to the king. Either the latter welcomes her as his wife and holds out his sceptre towards her, or she is so
troubled that she faints and, unsteady on her legs, she is supported by her maid-servants.
This is a royal scene with its scenery, its costumes and the attitudes of its characters.
46. GUERCINO
Saul Attacking David
Guercino's increasing tendency towards classicism began in the 1630's when the painter fell under the influence of the late work of Guido Reni. The Saul Attacking David is
a splendid example of his late style, a period in which Guercino brought his investigations into classicising style to their fullest conclusion.
Despite the dramatic quality of the narrative, the composition of the painting is extremely balanced: everything centres on the monumentality of the two figures, contrasting
protagonists of the scene. Almost frozen in their action, they are displayed entirely in the foreground, as if in a relief sculpture.
The chromatic range, light and highly refined, is rather far from the richly impasted mode of the artist's youth, as is the way in which the shadows ably underline the plastic
quality of the two personages.
47. MASTER Bertram
Grabow Altarpiece: Creation of the Animals
This is one of the panels on the inner side of the left inner wing of the Grabow altarpiece.
According to the creation story in Genesis, the fish and the birds were created on the fifth day, and the land animals on the sixth day. Bertram stuck to the story and shows both
wild and tame animals: note the fox that bites the sheep in the neck.
Master Bertram knew exactly how to employ the relatively limited space of the individual altar panels in order to populate the biblical story with a maximum of incident. He was
less concerned with a realistic portrayal of the objects than with the manner of their presentation. In the Creation of the Animals, fish rise from the waters and float upwards.
Above them, a swan, a rooster, a peacock, and a goldfinch are arranged in ascending order.
