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 precisely dated 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?

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 Ussher traveled throughout Europe, gathering much information from the actual historical documents.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.

Integrating biblical history (around 15 percent of the text is from the Bible) with secular 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.

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 Containing many human-interest stories from the original historical documents collected by Ussher, this is more than just a history book - it's a work of history.

The perfect companion to "Annals" is this one - "Adams Chart of History."

This well-known illustrated timeline of earth history was first published in 1871. A vintage reproduction of that acclaimed timeline, this well-known illustrated timeline of earth history was first published in 1871. "Adams Chart of History" is an amazing 27 1/2 inches tall, and the foldout chart features detailed, full-color drawings of various stages of history, from Adam and Eve to the late 19th century. There is handwritten commentary throughout.

Perfect for educational settings or Sunday school walls, it includes the explanatory booklet that was originally published with the chart. The chart follows James Ussher's timeline from "The Annals of the World," the inspiration for Adams' monumental work.

It includes:
  • 5,882 years of historic time represented in this map.
  • 3,607 years of Bible history.
  • Rulers, their years in power, date of accession, and when they were succeeded; the rise, fall, and division of nations, and much more.
  • Intricate symbols, such as the 10 red crosses on the purple Roman empire, which represent the "10 persecutions" of the Christians.
  • Hundreds of beautiful illustrations with explanations throughout the chart - there truly is no other chart quite like this.

Like "Annals," there is a softcover version of this book at lower price.
