Review of The Biblical Clock
Posted: 17 Sep 2021, 15:19
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Biblical Clock" by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon.]
The Biblical Clock: The Untold Secrets Linking the Universe and Humanity with God’s Plan by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon explores the intersection of faith and science and puts the idea that the two are opposing ideologies aside, favoring the notion that the two entities are intertwined rather than opposites. While ideas of history, science, and religion are presented separately in order to showcase the various approaches to figuring out Earth’s age, the book also focuses on how they compare and share ideas. This book does not only rely on Christianity’s teachings for its religious perspective, but also diverges into Judaisim and the religion’s beliefs about our Earth’s timeline.
Personally, I found the organization and analysis to be my favorite part of the book. While I am not a Christian or Jewish person myself, I appreciated the insight to both religions’ outlooks on our planet’s timeline. I loved the clear, distinct approaches to explaining the multiple theories bandied about over time with varying support ranging from famous scientists to the Bible itself. I also appreciated the perspective I gained on my own life and how insignificant a human lifetime is in the face of the age of Earth.
As far as negative aspects of the book go, I am unable to find anything that I found notably dislikable. This book provided exactly what it promised to provide, and I walked away from its content feeling like I learned something. There was a lot of information provided and some of it was difficult to follow at times, but the glossary at the end was helpful and cleared some issues I had.
Overall, I would rate the story with a 4 out of 4 stars. The book was exceptionally edited as I found no errors throughout my reading. Since the authors have strong academic reputations and this book seems to be incredibly well-researched, I would definitely recommend this book to readers looking for an interesting non-fiction read. This book managed to remain objective and provided multitudes of fact-based arguments with support from a variety of sources.
I recommend The Biblical Clock: The Untold Secrets Linking the Universe and Humanity with God’s Plan to anyone who wishes to learn more about how faith, history, and science collide. Because the content is probably hard to understand for children, this book is best suited for adults and teens. If you love academia, history, non-fiction, and learning about religion in an analytic format, then this book is probably for you.
