Timeline Worksheet 12
Lesson 13: Rome at Last (Acts 27, 28)
Timelines are great for helping us understand how Bible events relate to each other. And, by building a timeline as a computer file, you can update it each week as you learn more in the book of Acts. Your teacher will give you a blank Excel spreadsheet document named “Timeline of Acts.xls”, covering the basic dates of AD 3370. Each week, you will update the timeline by entering in the events you have studied.

Disclaimer: Remember that some of these dates are approximate. Bible scholars sometimes have different views regarding exactly when each Bible event occurred. But the scholars who believe the Bible is literal and infallible usually agree on their estimations within a range of two or three years.
