Our Debt of Gratitude to Martin Anstey…..

      We have found no better source for the Old Testament dates than the book, Chronology of the Old Testament1 by Martin Anstey. Sadly, it’s out of print. We have depended on it extensively for those early dates before the birth of Jesus.

      Martin Anstey assisted G. Cambell Morgan in a series of lectures on the redemptive activity of God in the Old Testament, in the Westminster Bible School. Dr. Morgan said the following in the preface to Anstey's book. "If, in such a matter as that of dates--which seems to be purely incidental and is of such a general nature that few have taken the trouble to pay particular attentionn to it--the method of careful study shows that these apparently incidental references are nevertheless accurat and harmonious, then a testimony full of value is borne to the integrity of the writings."2
