The fact that Ussher’s chronology has been deleted from Bibles is evidence of the Church’s backsliding into the deceptive ideas of evolution. Integrating biblical history (around 15% of the text is from the Bible) with secular (around 85% of the material is from non-biblical sources), Ussher wrote this masterpiece.Ĭonsidered not only a literary classic, but also an accurate reference, The Annals of the World was so highly regarded for its preciseness that the timeline from it was included in the margins of many King James Version Bibles throughout the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, calling to mind the fact that the earth is only around 6,000 years old.

Using the Bible as his timeline, Ussher began with the death of Nebuchadnezzar as a reliable date and worked backward through the genealogies of the Old Testament to arrive at the date of creation - 4004 B.C. Many of these documents are no longer available, having been destroyed since the time of his research. Ussher traveled throughout Europe, gathering much information from the actual historical documents. This famous comprehensive history of the world, originally published in Latin, offers a look at history rarely seen. The result was published in 1658 as the literary classic The Annals of the World. In the years 1650-1654, James Ussher set out to write a history of the world from creation to A.D. What does secular history say about the darkness.What really happened when the sun “went backward”.Why did Alexander the Great burn his ships in.Why was Julius Caesar kidnapped in 75 B.C.?.In its pages can be found the fascinating history of the ancient world from the Genesis creation through the destruction of the Jerusalem temple. 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.
