Following is an alphabetical list of the subjects treated in the charts and maps of The MacArthur Study Bible. This list makes it easier to find the chart or map you want when you know the subject matter of the desired chart or map but not the precise title.

Italic type identifies the chart or map by its title.

The Bible is a collection of 66 documents inspired by God. These documents are gathered into two testaments, the Old (39) and the New (27). Prophets, priests, kings, and leaders from the nation of Israel wrote the OT books in Hebrew (with two passages in Aramaic). The apostles and their associates wrote the NT books in Greek. The OT record starts with the creation of the universe and closes about 400 years before the first coming of Jesus Christ.

The flow of history through the OT moves along the following lines:

• Creation of the universe
• Fall of man
• Judgment flood over the earth
