this edition of the Bible provides an historical perspective for the reader, but it's more of an "as-it-happened" perspective... the introductory material includes a much better description of how it came to be than i can share here, but the gist of it is that scholars and researchers restructured the books of the Bible to more accurately reflect the order in which the overlapping events took place...

this allows for a broader picture of everything as it happens... this also allows for the Bible to be read as more of an continuous story as it unfolds... it's a rather interesting way to look at the Scripture which is pretty much the point... along with the rearranged text, there are several insets that explain the culture of the time period, an overarching timeline that keeps track of where in history you are reading an account from and many other pieces of information that make the reading offer a better grasp of what life was actually like when this was written...
