Religion Timelines

Timelines of the world's religions, from Hinduism and Judaism to Christianity, Islam and Sikhism, along with the Bible and the churches that grew from it. Each one lays out the key dates in order, so you can see how a faith developed and what was happening elsewhere at the time.

Making Your Own

Every timeline here can be copied into your own Preceden account, where you can add events, change the dates, or restyle it. Ancient dates often cross from BC into AD, and our guide to making a BC and AD timeline explains how the two eras count and how to enter the dates. To set two timelines side by side, see how to make a comparative timeline.

These timelines are generated with the help of AI, using information found on the internet, and mistakes do get through. If you spot one, email us at [email protected].
