What is the storyline order of the Bible? I purposefully asked, "what is the storyline order of the Bible", because I don't want to know the order that the books were written in (which is chronological, I'm pretty sure.)

What I want to see is a list of the books of the Bible in order from the beginning of the Bible's story to the end. The first part of the story is obviously Genesis, and the end of the story is probably Revelation. Books that overlap stories, such as the Gospels, I think should be put on the same line. Like this:

Genesis

Etc.

Mathew, Mark, Luke, John,

Etc,

Revelation.


Thank you. The best answer would have a short overview of each book, such as, 

"Genesis: an account of Creation to the death of Joseph."
There are plenty of timelines of the Bible. I didn't find anything exactly matching your requirements, so here is a brief overview. Be aware that much of the Bible is not narrative, and there is not necessarily a 'historical order' to all of it. Note that I am assuming the common Protestant/Catholic ordering of the books.

Old Testament


Genesis - Judges History and prehistory of the Israelite nation, up until the founding of the Kingdom of Israel. Historically they are in the order they appear in the Bible
Ruth A side-story, contemporary with Judges
1 &amp; 2 Samuel, 1&amp; 2 Kings. History of the Kingdoms of Israel, in the order in which they appear, up until the Exile of the Israelites
1 &amp; 2 Chronicles A retelling of the events of Samuel and Kings.
Esther takes place during the Exile
Ezra and Nehemiah are stories of the re-establishment of the Kingdoms of Israel after the Exile
Job is difficult to place in the timeline, and doesn't relate to the histories.
Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs are 'wisdom literature' and not narrative and don't really have a place in the timeline. Much of Psalms is traditionally attributed to King David, and the others to his son Solomon, which would relate them to the time of Samuel and Kings.
Isaiah, Jeremiah and Lamentations are books of prophecy and not mainly narrative. They relate to the late period of the Kingdoms of Israel, before the Exile.
Ezekiel and Daniel are similar prophetic books relating to the Exile period.
The remaining books of the Old Testament are also prophetic, mainly relating to the last period of the Kingdoms of Israel.


New Testament

All New Testament events take place several hundred years after the last events recorded in the Old Testament.


The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) are different tellings of Jesus' life story
Acts picks up the story after Jesus' resurrection
The remaining books are not narrative. They are all letters, except...
Revelation, which is again prophecy. It can be reasonably assumed that all the events described did/will take place after the end of Acts.
