Andrew, you may know this already, but Ussher's tremendous work "Annals of History" is available in print through Answers in Genesis (www.aig.org). I purchased a copy and would highly recommend it to anyone studying ancient history.

Ussher is one of my heros even if he was an Amyraldian!

That's ok, a few weeks later, I came across a similiar deal. I have had it for months. What a wonderful book. I wish Bibleworks would add a searchable version of the book. How great would that be ?

Ouch!

Annals is availabe through Vision Forum and every once in a while if you subscribe to their newsletter, they will have a deal where if you buy $100 worth of books they will give you a coupon for $50 toward the purchase of more books. That is how I got mine.

It is a great resource but the cd is weird.

Agreed

It is a great resource but the cd is weird.

I visited Trinity College in Dublin back in 1997. (Before I was Reformed) I remember it having some very old Bibles. I wish I had known of Ussher back then. It would have made the tour much more interesting.

Yes, I visited it in 1994 but my knowledge of its historical importance pretty limited at the time.

I have an Huguenot ancestor who graduated from there before settling in Virginia in the 1720's.

I don't know who Bennie Blount is, but I stumbled across this free PDF download.

http://bennieblount.org/Online/Ussher/Annals%20of%20The%20World.pdf

Not sure if its complete (I have not seen the original) but it looks to be.
I am sure its in the public domain, so there should not be copy issues.

The softcover Annals of the World is now available through christianbook.com for $24.99!

Ussher's Body of Divinity arrives at Solid Ground Books today and should ship out to pre-pub orders soon. I called and checked - I had an order placed in Dec. of 2005! Should be worth the wait.

Dumb question time, was he Anglican?

 

[JM]

Isn't his dating system used in the Scofield Reference Bible?
