Excellent (though a lot wrong) reference work setting Creation at 4004 BC (probably wrong). Still, it is neat to have it at your side, the editors did a fine job running down sources. However, they change a good bit of Ussher to fit their leanings. They bash Thiele pretty good, and they think of Ussher as being the only biblical chronologist there is. You can have a different chronology and still fit the literal truth of the Bible, I think. Ussher was limited by his sources and, in the end, unimaginative.

The presentation is excellent. The sources, bibliography, appendices (whether you believe them or not) and the index, all useful.

This is in a useful, bulky, but useful, paperback edition.

This book is the epitome of Irish Puritanistic, Calvinistic, British Reformed Theology. It has been credited with being essentially foundational to the development of the Westminster Catechism and Confession of Faith.

James Ussher was an Irish Archbishop who did what few other theologians or historians(if any) has ever done: Compile and combine a historical account of both biblical events of Israel and extra-biblical histories of other nations.

Ussher begins with the biblical account of creation, starting at 1 AM(Anno Mundi, or Year of the World), equivalent to 4004 BC, and a specific date and time. The introduction and appendices show that even if these dates are incorrect(whether they are or not may not be known until we can ask our Creator ourselves), they were not made up out of thin air, but by educated and reliable historical dating methods.

Even though this book was originally written in the 1600s, the dates are amazingly similar to today's estimates, oftentimes being withing as few as two years difference.

This book is recommended for any theologian or historian who sees history from a biblical point of view. This entire 900+ page book uses the Bible as its primary source, and treats all other sources as secondary, so those who do not hold a biblical worldview may not agree with the bible-related histories, but otherwise there is still plenty to learn from it.

Modern English language revision of 1654 work by Bishop Ussher who used history to put a timeline to the Bible, and thus, to predict the end of the world. Is presented as a book that had an impact on it's time. Comes with a CD digital version of the text.
