The Annals of the World
"The best ancient history book after the Bible"
By James Ussher
http://email.wnd.com/ct/3522654:5049920051:m:3:140710570:05C2E8961DAC14929F403BDB3867BFFB

How old is the world?

Most people would say: "Nobody knows."

But the author of the book frequently described as "the greatest
history book ever written," said the world was created on October
23, 4004 B.C., making it exactly 6,012 this month.

Have you ever thought about the world having a birthday?

What a great way to commemorate the date by getting the world's
most remarkable history book - a standard classical education
tool for homeschoolers and others who care about a biblical
perspective on history.

In the 1650s, an Anglican bishop named James Ussher published
his "Annals of the World," subtitled, "The Origin of Time, and
Continued to the Beginning of the Emperor Vespasian's Reign and
the Total Destruction and Abolition of the Temple and
Commonwealth of the Jews." First published in Latin, it consisted
of more than 1,600 pages.

The book, now published in English for the first time, is a
favorite of homeschoolers and those who take ancient history
seriously. It's the history of the world from the Garden of Eden
to the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70.

Of course, there will be those who disagree with Ussher's
calculations of time - especially evolutionists who need billions
of years to explain their theory of how life sprang from non-life
and mutated from one-celled animals into human beings.

Ussher's arrival at the date of Oct. 23 was based on the fact
that most peoples of antiquity, especially the Jews, started
their calendar at harvest time. Ussher concluded there must be
good reason for this, so he chose the first Sunday following
autumnal equinox.

Although the autumnal equinox is Sept. 21 today, that is only
because of historical calendar-juggling to make the years come
out right.

If you think this is a startling fact - an actual date for
Creation - you haven't seen anything until you've pored through
the rest of Ussher's "Annals of the World." It's a classic
history book for those who believe in the Bible - and a
compelling challenge for those who don't.

The new edition of "Annals" is one of the most significant
publishing events of the 21st century.

In this masterful and legendary volume, commissioned by Master
Books to be updated from the 17th-century original Latin
manuscript to modern English and made available to the general
public, is the fascinating history of the ancient world from the
Genesis creation through the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple.

Find out:

* Why was Julius Caesar kidnapped in 75 B.C.?
* Why did Alexander the Great burn his ships in 326 B.C.?
* What really happened when the sun "went backward" as a sign
to Hezekiah?
* What does secular history say about the darkness at the
Crucifixion?

Ussher wrote this masterpiece by integrating biblical history
(around 15 percent of the text is from the Bible) with secular
sources. He traveled throughout Europe, gathering much
information from the actual historical documents.

Its accuracy as a reference solidified over the centuries, "The
Annals of the World" proved so highly regarded for its
preciseness that its timeline was included in the margins of many
King James Version Bibles throughout the 18th, 19th, and 20th
centuries.

"The Annals of the World" is a necessary addition to any church
library, pastor's library, or any library - public or personal.
In a five-year project commissioned by Master Books, the entire
text has been updated from 17th-century English to present-day
vernacular. Containing many human-interest stories from the
original historical documents collected by Ussher, this is more
than just a history book - it's a work of history.
