What Is a Bible Chain Study?
A chain study traces a single theme, topic, or concept chronologically through the books of the Bible. Inspired by the Thompson Chain Reference Bible, this method reveals how God progressively unfolds His truth from Genesis to Revelation.
Each chain in our collection spans at least 4 different books of the Bible and bridges both the Old and New Testaments. This ensures every chain demonstrates the continuity of Scripture and the consistency of God's message across thousands of years of revelation.
Chain studies are especially valuable for understanding major doctrines, character traits, divine attributes, and recurring themes that weave through the entire biblical narrative.
