What is coming
Everything in the archive
These are the parts of ChronoHieros that will open here. Each one is checked against its sources before it goes live.
The Bible
The King James Bible as the standard text, with the older English and ancient versions beside it for comparison: Wycliffe, Tyndale, Geneva, Douay-Rheims, the Latin Vulgate, the Greek Septuagint and others.
From Creation to Today
One continuous timeline from the beginning recorded in Genesis to October 2026: every person, event and witness, who met whom, and who taught or succeeded whom, so that no thread is skipped.
People and Connections
More than 2,800 people of the Bible and of church history, with the documented links between them: who taught, baptized, ordained, sent or opposed whom.
The Family Tree of Jesus
The genealogies of Matthew and Luke laid out from Adam and Abraham through David to Jesus, each name tied to the verses that give it.
Maps and Journeys
The places of the Bible and of church history on the map, with the journeys traced stop by stop from the text: Abraham, the Exodus, the ministry of Jesus and Paul's four journeys.
Contested Claims
The questions people argue about, set out side by side with the evidence each side has, and a plain verdict where the record allows one.
The Ledgers
An honest accounting of the church's record: the wrongs done in Christ's name and the good done in it, each entry with its sources.
Errata, in the Open
When a mistake is found it is corrected and listed publicly, with what changed and why. Nothing is quietly rewritten.

Read the label before the claim
Every claim is graded
