Can timeline be used to display approximate creation dates of sacred texts for Christianity?

God bless:

I am reading about how we got the NT.

I am curious to know if L6's timeline can be used to show all about the sacred texts as applicable to textual criticism.

E.g. possible dates of creation of Autographs, when, where, etc.

Same for copies of the originals.

Also the translations into other languages approximation of dates, what groups in what times, etc.

And so on, and so forth.

It would be nice to see in a timeline all important events related to textual criticism, and then be able to enter into details by clicking relevant links.

I looked in the subject drop down list, but nothing is mentioned about textual criticism.

Can someone share if there is a way to use timeline for events that relate to textual criticism please.

If it cannot be done, can someone point to a web page that has a timeline related to the artifacts of textual criticism please.

Thanks in advance and blessings.

Hello:

For those interested in the timeline, I found the following:

I am still not sure if Timeline in L6 can be modified to do something similar.

Blessings.

You can get some of this information with the Timeline tool. Open the "Type" menu and turn off everything except "Text" under "Arts and Culture". Click on events to see a list of some articles about that event.

Hi there:

Update: I am taking the NT281 summer challenge, and Dr. Heiser has a segment on how to use timeline to do something similar to what I originally wanted in this thread.

In timeline one can use the filter box to narrow the amount of information.

E.g. one can type "New Testament", and only entries related to it will show. You can then click on the events to get access to the articles, information, etc.

On further searching, I found out that in LT161, Morris Proctor goes over this, and even shows that logical operators can be used to filter the info in the timeline.

Kind regards.
