VOLUME 1 – THE FOUNDATIONS (Chapters 1-3) – It examines the Bible itself, the God of the Bible, and the nature of mankind.
VOLUME 2 – ANCIENT CHRONOLOGY (Chapters 4-5) – It identifies the chronology of the Bible and synchronizes the sacred and secular calendars.
VOLUME 3 – NATURAL HISTORY (Chapters 6-8) – It examines the cosmology of the Bible, the catastrophes of the Bible, the time segments[1] into which the catastrophes divide history, and puts forth an hypothesis concerning the geologic strata which is an alternative to the geologic column which can be found in most geologic text books.
VOLUME 4 – HUMAN HISTORY (Chapters 9-15) – It tries to provide a dated king-list for each ancient people – e.g. the Arabians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Chaldeans (or neo-Babylonians), Chinese, Egyptians, Ethiopians, Etruscans, Greeks, Ionians, Libyans, Minoans, Mycenaeans, Persians, Phoenicians, Romans, Sumerians, Trojans, etc. – within each historical era, thereby showing who were contemporaries (not always who the historians think were so).
VOLUME 5 – GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE (Chapters 16-19) – It identifies the meaning and purpose of God’s election of the Hebrews to be “the apple of his eye” (Zechariah 2:8) by discussing Israel’s race, religions, regions, and realms.
VOLUME 6 – GOD’S INSTITUTIONS (Chapters 20-23) – It examines four institutions which God established and through which he deals with mankind: the individual, the family, the congregation, and the nation.

[1] History is divided into periods, eras, ages, and minor periods as follows:
1-PREHISTORIC PERIOD (3977-665 BC), which is divided into eras, ages, and minor periods by catastrophes:
1A-EARLY PREHISTORIC ERA (3977-2321 BC), which is divided into three segments:
1A-0-Creation Week (3977 BC),
1A-1-Ancients’ Primordial Age (3977 BC) = Bible’s Edenic Age, and
1A-2-Ancients’ Golden Age (3977-2321 BC) = Bible’s Antediluvian Age.
1B-MIDDLE PREHISTORIC ERA (2321-1464 BC), which is divided into two ages:
1B-1-Ancients’ Silver Age (2321-1870 BC) = Bible’s Early Postdiluvian Age, and
1B-2-Ancients’ Bronze Age (1870-1464 BC) = Bible’s Late Postdiluvian Age.
1C-LATE PREHISTORIC ERA (1464-665 BC), which is divided into three ages:
1C-1-Ancients’ Missing Age (1464-1008 BC) = Bible’s Post-Exodus Age to David 20,
1C-2-Ancients’ Heroic Age (1008-754 BC) = Bible’s David 20 to Azariah 24, and
1C-3-Ancients’ Iron Age (754-665 BC), Bible’s Azariah 24 to Hezekiah 29 – the date of the last catastrophe.
2–HISTORIC PERIOD (665 BC-Unknown date), which is divided into eras, ages, and minor periods by significant events.
2A-EARLY HISTORIC ERA (665-2 BC) = Bible’s Hezekiah 29 to Birth of Messiah.
2B-MIDDLE HISTORIC ERA (2 BC-1453 AD) = Bible’s Birth of Messiah to the Fall of Constantinople.
2C-LATE HISTORIC ERA (1453 AD-Present) = Fall of Constantinople to Messiah’s Second Advent – the Parousia.
