The Annals of the World: Exclusive Edition

A highly respected scholar and theologian, still widely studied today, Archbishop James Ussher carefully studied the books of the Bible and an impressive array of historical documents (many lost to time or no longer available for study) to produce the unparalleled academic work known as The Annals of the World.

• Includes CD-ROM of Ussher’s chronology of the world, full of colored charts, graphs, timelines, and much, much more
• Over 10,500 footnotes have been updated to reference works in the Loeb Classical Library by Harvard Press
• Over 2,500 citations from the Bible and the Apocrypha
• Ussher’s original citations have been checked against the latest textual scholarship

Considered not only a literary classic, but also a valuable reference, The Annals of the World was so highly regarded for its preciseness that its timeline was included in the margins of many King James Bibles throughout the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, reminding readers that the earth is only around 6,000 year old. As evolutionary beliefs—especially the belief in long ages for the earth—took root in the 20th century, Ussher’s sound scholarship faded from Bibles. This is a reflection of the church’s compromise with Darwinism. Genuine leather-bound hardcover, gold-gilded. 960 pages. Find out more.
