Annals of the World January 6, 2009
Annals of the World is an excellent source of world and biblical history. No historian or bible student should be without it!
Wow... January 2, 2009
Still getting into this book. It appears to be everything I expected. I only saw one once before finally ordering years later, glad I did. Can be hard to get from time to time, frequently backordered. Great for anyone interested in history. In light of how poorly kids are educated of late...maybe get one and supplement the public school fodder with this... Lastly, I asked around at several large bookstores, libraries, etc. and almost no one even knew what this book was. It's actually the antithesis of modern pop culture nonsense. A hidden gem!
A lot of information August 1, 2008

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!!!
