Produced by Ascension—the Catholic publisher behind The Bible in a Year podcast with Fr. Mike Schmitz—the new edition of The Bible Timeline presents a fresh and immersive way to engage with the story of Scripture from Genesis to the Church today.
[Exton, PA - November 25, 2025] For over two decades, The Bible Timeline: The Story of Salvation has helped millions of Catholics uncover the rich narrative of Salvation History. Now, the award-winning program is returning in a completely re-filmed edition that brings Scripture to life with cinematic beauty and the trusted teaching of Catholic voices known around the world.

Mike Schmitz, Dr. John Bergsma, Dr. Mary Healy, Damon Owens, Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio, Dr. Christine Wood, Dr. Jeffrey Morrow, and Dcn. John Harden.

Brand-new video sessions filmed on location

A color-coded Bible Timeline Chart that organizes Scripture into 12 periods

“So many Catholics want to understand the Bible, but they don’t know where to start,” says creator, Jeff Cavins. “The Bible Timeline gives them the tools to see the big picture and the confidence to go deeper.”
Using a unique, color-coded approach centered around 14 key narrative books of the Bible, The Bible Timeline has become one of the most widely used Scripture study programs in the world. It also served as the framework for The Bible in a Year podcast, which has held the #1 spot on Apple Podcasts in the Religion & Spirituality category for five consecutive years.
In a post-pandemic Church marked by renewed spiritual hunger, The Bible Timeline offers a clear next step for Catholics who have been inspired by Scripture and are ready to move from passive listening to active learning.
The new edition of The Bible Timeline is available now at AscensionPress.com/BTL.
