Looking for Resource that Summarizes Each Era of Biblical History
I am looking for a resource in Logos that breaks down biblical history into eras (e.g. Pre-history, Patriarchal, Exodus/Conquest, Judges, United Kingdom, Divided Kingdom, etc...), and then provides passages or themes that exemplify that time period.
Does anything jump out at anyone?

Gray, Tim, and Jeff Cavins. Walking with God: A Journey through the Bible. West Chester, PA: Ascension Press, 2010. summarized in a bookmark visual.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Thank you! This does look useful. I went ahead and purchased the collection that includes it as well!

** This just came out a few weeks ago and I don't own it but it does look interesting
Eugene Merrill has a historical survey of the OT that was pretty good though I wouldn't call it a summary though and it is limited to the OT

I am an evangelical, but last month picked up the CDs (24 hours) for Jeff Cavins' "The Bible Time Line: Story of Salvation" from Goodwill for $2.00. I listened to the first 5 hours and found them to be substantially in agreement with evangelical teaching. Cavins was a protestant pastor for 15 years. But he sounds a lot like John Walton, NT Wright, and biblical covenant theology. And his turn to particular Catholic theology is relatively infrequent. (1 Maccabees is useful to me too.) When he does cite Benedict XVI, I agreed anyway. Generally speaking, Cavins does a great job of laying out the story of salvation in a clear and biblical way. So I even bought the course from Ascension Press to get the book and videos.

That's quite an endorsement! As a Catholic, I've seen a couple of his videos and they seemed good, but it sounds like I should take a closer look. I've put his stuff on a Wishlist for now.
