- Latest Review: Voices of liberty in tribute to the American revolution by Robert Keiper
This is book four in Daniel Friedman's inspired studies series, but you can read it as a standalone. I would recommend it to those readers who want to reconcile science and the Bible. I also think the readers of the Jewish faith would find this book more interesting. Keep in mind that this is a very complex read that might be difficult for younger readers to understand.
The only thing I disliked is the fiction part of the book in chapter three about global warming. I didn’t find it very interesting, and it missed the mark with me on that one completely.

Your question is why I believe that this was more focused on the Jewish Torah. The Jewish religion does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah. The Bible and Torah are similar in the first 5 books but after that they are different due to belief systems.Sushan wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 00:53 I reviewed this some time ago and I rated it with 3 out of 4 stars. I liked the way that it is presented as a research paper along with all the figures, tables, etc. The theories are quite intriguing, but all in all, it felt like an attempt to prove that the bible is true. At the same time, a big question occurred to me. Where is jesus in this book? Was he never important in God's Divine Plan?

As to Jesus, the author states that a great religious leader arises at the beginning of each period. Could Jesus have been that leader for that period. And his return could be the last religious leader before the end as predicted in the Bible and the last one in the last period described in the book?

The lone thing I detested is the fiction part of the book in section three about an unnatural weather change. I didn't think that its extremely fascinating, and it came up short with me on that one totally.

To be convinced of any of this requires a belief in the literal text of the Bible, and I just don't have that. I'm sure there's an audience for this type of book out there, but I'm certainly not it. A complete waste of my time.
