Sebastian Adams' Time Chart
- Sebastian C. Adams created a Synchronological Chart of history in 1871, a colorful and massive time chart starting from creation in 4004 BC.
- This chart has been popular for over 150 years, available as a scroll or accordion format and reprinted many times since 2003.

- Modern archaeological and biblical research has overturned much of what Adams believed about biblical history.
- Scholarship now challenges traditional biblical narratives with new evidence from multiple disciplines.

- The term "objective" is problematic in history and social sciences, often used as a weapon rather than a true descriptor.
- Gary Stevens embraces a reasoned personal judgment in assessing scholarship rather than claims of pure objectivity.
