The writing is truly fresh and exciting, a bit unexpected for a volume first published in the mid 1600's by an Anglican archbishop! The descriptions of the people, the rulers, the battles, the times, are simply fascinating. Not only is there a treasure trove of biblical information, but also many first person accounts of encounters with Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, etc. The source materials used are from the people who were there! Anyone with an interest in history and notable personalities of the past will be fascinated. Remember King Herod, who ordered the slaughter of the infants when Jesus was born? According to this, he included his own children! Read about Ptolemy Philopator, who in 216 BC tried to murder all the Jews in Alexandria by locking them in the hippodrome with 500 drunken elephants. (It didn't work.) Really, you have to see this to believe it. This is definitely worth every penny!
Until recently, James Ussher's colossal Annals of the World remained inaccessible to all but the most esoteric of scholars. A hero of biblical chronology and one of the most astute church historians ever, Ussher is both loved and hated. He is loved by all those who share a commitment to the fidelity of Genesis as an accurate account of human origins, and who consistently hold to the literal, grammatical, historical approach to Bible interpretation. He is hated by evolutionists and compromising theologians who would seek to integrate evolutionary cosmology with the philosophy of science the Holy Scripture warns us about.
No man in church history left a more indelible imprint on the thinking of Christians concerning the chronology of the ancient world than James Ussher. Though he was an Anglican Archbishop of Ireland who died during the rule of Cromwell, Ussher was decidedly a Puritan. He was so revered by all, including Cromwell (an independent), that Ussher was given the honor of being buried in Westminster Abbey.
For three hundred years, Ussher's rigorous and comprehensive scholarship on chronology and biblical history was considered the unassailable standard by theologians. Until the very recent takeover of our major seminaries by misguided leadership which seek to integrate evolutionary thinking with Scripture at the expense of sound theology and sound science, Ussher's work was not only a staple of Christian education, but his comments were found in the margin notes of many King James Bibles.
James Ussher did what no other theologian of note had ever accomplished. He dedicated an entire lifetime of study to the issue of world history and chronology. His studies required him to travel extensively throughout Europe, examining the oldest and most rare manuscripts in the world, manuscripts which today are missing or have been destroyed, which is why Ussher's work can never be replicated.
Buy this book! You will not be disappointed. Ussher's book is a masterpiece. Simply brilliant in detail, this exhaustive work is much different from other histories since he draws on materials that no longer exist, bringing to life other texts long since lost or forgotten. This work is essential to anyone who studies the Bible, regardless of your views. Bishop Ussher's calculations relating to creation are entirely believable, and no matter your worldview you will find the histories complete and engaging, interspersed as they are with first hand accounts of some of civilization's most defining moments.
Having this book on a CD is a dream come true. A wonderful feature of this CD is the ability to "copy and paste" any of the text from its nearly 1400 pages into any other computer application/program. Try doing that with a printed book! Everything on this disk is fully searchable. And with so many pages and chapters to study, having built-in Bookmarks is definitely a time saver!
Do you like audio books? Another time-saving feature not talked about very often is the "Read Aloud" function of Adobe Acrobat Reader. This feature will allow your computer to read the text of the book to you, whether it be one page or the entire book! (Don't be fooled by others on eBay who try to pass off their eBooks as the only ones with this feature, as it will work with nearly any PDF in Adobe Acrobat)
Don't forget, shipping is FREE! ...Due
to recent changes in eBay policy, shipping prices have gone up
considerably for these items. The cost to send ONE CD via First Class
Mail is now over $3.00 (USA), but we still ship for FREE. Beware of others

Not sure what an "eBook" is?
The term 'eBook' simply means "electronic book", meant for viewing on your computer or other device. eBooks usually come in Adobe PDF format, as the one being offered in this auction. All that is required to read the eBook is a software program called Adobe Acrobat Reader, which will open PDF files. Most computers already have the Adobe Acrobat reader software already installed, but in the rare instance your computer may not have it, you can download the latest version for FREE at Adobe's site. For viewing on a mobile device such as Kindle, iPhone, Droid, etc. you must have an 'app' installed which allows reading of PDF files.
With an eBook, you can read books on your computer screen and zoom in
on the text to make the words as big as you would like them to be to
read comfortably! You can also go to any page or chapter in the book
with just a few mouse clicks, even if the book has thousands of pages!
You can also print out any or all pages you like at your convenience.
With some eBooks, you even have the capability to copy and paste the
text of the book into another computer file, instead of retyping by
hand. These are just a few of the features and conveniences of having a
book in electronic format. I will send this item by postal mail. Sending this item by email or by
any other digital delivery method is not allowed and violates eBay
