A small Wroot Press project. Annales— the old word for a record kept year by year. Scripture’s narrative order is not its order in time: Kings tells two kingdoms at once, handing off between Israel and Judah with a synchronism every reader loses track of — “in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.” This lens lays those years flat. One timeline, two tracks, every reign sized to its length and stamped with the verdict the book gives it. Sibling to Topographia Sacra (which organizes by where) and Catena (by how the texts connect).
The Editions
THE DIVIDED MONARCHY
Two kingdoms, one timeline · 1–2 Kings · 2 Chronicles
From the schism at Shechem to the fall of Jerusalem — every king of both kingdoms, the years Kings tells in a braid no reader can untangle from the prose alone.
THE LIFE OF PAUL
Acts and the letters, on one timeline · Acts · the Pauline letters
Luke tells the journeys; Paul, in his letters, tells the same years from the inside. Lay them side by side and each letter falls into its place — the city it was written from, the journey that produced it.
