In its pages can be found the fascinating history of the ancient world from the Genesis creation through the destruction of the Jerusalem temple.

Spanning creation to A.D. 70, Archbishop Ussher's 17th-century masterpiece recorded world history---and made it! Now his influential classic is available in modern English. Completely indexed, precisely dated, and filled with fascinating historical detail from the ancient world, it's an essential reference for your library or classroom.

This book is a virtual historical encyclopedia with information and footnotes to history that otherwise would have been lost forever. A "must read" for libraries of all sizes.

Considered not only a classic work of literature, but also esteemed for its precision and accuracy, THE ANNALS OF THE WORLD has not been published in the English language since the 17th century. Almost completely inaccessible to the public for three centuries, this book is a virtual historical encyclopedia with information and footnotes to history from the beginning through the first century A.D., Ussher relates both famous accounts and little known events in the lives of the famous and infamous including pharaohs, Caesars, kings, conquerors, thieves, pirates, and murderers. He tells of the rise and fall of great and not-so-great nations and gives accounts of the events that shaped the world.

As an historical work, Ussher's ANNALS OF THE WORLD is a must-have for libraries of all sizes. Universities, public and private schools, professors, independent scholars, and pastors will find a treasure-trove of materials previously unavailable. Containing many human interest stories from the original documents collected by Ussher, this is more than just a history book -- it's a work of history.

In the years 1650-1654, James Ussher set out to write a history of the world from creation to A.D. 70. The result was published in 1658 as the literary classic "THE ANNALS OF THE WORLD." This famous comprehensive history of the world, originally published in Latin, offers a look at history rarely seen. Ussher traveled throughout Europe, gathering much information from the actual historical documents. Many of these documents are no longer available, having been destroyed since the time of his research.

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. 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.

Considered 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. The fact that Ussher’s chronology has been deleted from Bibles is evidence of the Church’s backsliding into the deceptive ideas of evolution.

"THE ANNALS OF THE WORLD" is a necessary addition to any church library, pastor’s library, or any library — public or personal. 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.
