When was the Gospel of Matthew written? When did the Buddha live? When were the Salem Witch Trials? When did Constantine convert to Christianity?

So many questions... so difficult to find quick answers to them. One of the best ways to learn about religion is to study religious history, but too often events are studied in isolation. This new feature will present comprehensive timelines of religious history.

Important dates of all the religions are mixed into all the timelines - that way, when you are reading about the history of Christianity, you can also see what important things were happening with Islam or Buddhism. In addition, important non-religious events and people are included as reference points.
