A work of history!

This is a great book. A classic of history republished in English.

The way Ussher weaves secular and biblical history together is fantastic. From an historical point of view the book is valuable. From a current perspective, it is a 'poke-in-the-eye' for long age indoctrinators. Whatever one thinks about the biblical timeline, this book is a worthy addition to one's library. The only criticism I have pertains to the CD-ROM included with the hardbound edition. Although it has much information, I feel that it is presented poorly... but you would not purchase a work like this solely for the CD-ROM!!!

Annals of the Word: James Ussher's Classic Survey of World History

Wonderfully done book of History. Fun to unfold and learn the events that have gone before us. This book is great to compare with school material, and use for historical studies. Beautiful book.

Students Of History Take Note

Ussher's "Annals Of The World" stands as a true classic in so many ways. It is difficult to pin down the one thing that makes it so good.

The wealth of information is astounding. There is also an included CD-ROM that has a whole lot of time line based information, much of it based on the Biblical historical accounts that list the ages of the patriarchs and other important figures in history, many of which overlap, giving a continuous record of the times in which many events occurred.

Even if you are not biblically inclined, there is still a lot of information that is unbiased, that speaks to the existence and times of many of history's famous and infamous figures and deeds.

History is history. Some may say that people who believe in God distort history to suit their purposes, but the same could be said of people who do not believe in God.

A good example being the most famous person to ever live: Jesus. Did He or didn't he actually live? And when? Did He do as he claimed? If you research it, even Roman historians of the period will tell you Jesus really walked the earth. His divinity is another topic and I am not here to debate the merits or lack of merits of the two sides and their ongoing war of ideas on this or other subjects dealing with religion in general.

No doubt that this book will ignite more than a few debates all its own. However, if you read through the exhaustive documentation, it becomes very clear that this cannot be the work of a man seeking to "rewrite" History; he merely wishes to chronicle it before much of it disappears forever and so becomes the perview of myth and legend.

Even in his day, Ussher had to be seeing the deterioration of ancient documents and the knowledge and information they contained disappearing forever. So he set about to preserve as much as was possible, given the resources he had available -- just like modern day historians might do.

You lose nothing and have everything to gain in getting this documentation of early History. You will find much to praise, moreso than to criticise.

Master Books commissioned this important literary work to be updated from the 17th-century original Latin manuscript to modern English and made available to the general public for the first time. In its pages can be found the fascinating history of the ancient world from the Genesis creation through the destruction of the Jerusalem temple.
