Overall rating and opinion of "The Biblical Clock" by Daniel Friedmann, Dania Sheldon

[63tty]

I rated this book 3 out of 4 stars. Most of the points in the book, I would not agree with even though I did my best to have an open mind. I like it because it challenged my intellect on the bible. In as much as I appreciate the author talking about the bible and trying to prove it right, there are so many things I couldn't help but dissagree.

This book was quite an interesting read as it was fascinating to connect a religion and science together and notice their coordination according to the book. What I did not like about the book was that it really was quite hard to follow due to the jumping between stories and there was a lot of concepts that weren't fully explained for readers with limited knowledge on the subject.

I read this book sometime ago and liked it a lot.
The book is an awesome piece displaying the indepth studies by the author and his soulful research.
I have awarded a rating of 4 out of 4 stars to this book. I liked the way author presented the information clearly in a tabular form as well.
I will definitely recommend this book to people who are interested to know more about evolution of world and mankind.

Human's mind is always in a curious state to know about the origin, evolution and the ultimate fate of the universe. Not only this we also wonder about the timings and sequence in which the world was created. Unfortunately we found many hypothesis where the creation of the world was mentioned but not exact dates or period.
Although there are many spiritual and scientific theories given by renowned scholars and expert astronomers still it remained some kind of a controversial one to believe which one ?
So , according to me what I loved about this book "The Biblical clock" is it's ability to blend science and scriptures perfectly . The author here showed how both the theories can be related to each other and has given convincing proofs to show that science and religion goes hand in hand. That's why I rate this book 4 out of 4 .

There's nothing that I didn't like about this book . This book really has it's own beauty and the way the author portrayed both the theories one can easily enjoy each and every essence of this book .

I would certainly recommend this book to those who is open-minded about both the science and the scriptures . They would surely enjoy it . But this book is not for the readers who are Christians because they may find the term 'biblical' misleading since the book only considers Jewish scriptures as well as readers of other faiths will not find the book appealing .

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I love the arguments that the author raises. They were worth pondering over. This book is suitable for open minded people.

I think the title is misleading. I find some of the so called Revelations and comparison between the Faiths inaccurate and it didn't feel right with me. As such I wouldn't be recommending it.

[Mtibza eM]

I liked the promises it made in the beginning that it was going to reconcile both the Science and religion. But after reading it, I disliked the fact that it failed on delivering on its promise. The author leaned more on religion, and following Scriptures than science most. I saw this when he was talking about the End of Days. I would recommend it to other people but to me it was just an alright book. Nothing special with it.

I just finished the book, I think I'll rate it three out of four stars. I found it a little challenging to tell what sources the author was drawing information from. And, without the background in his extra-biblical sources, some of the content felt like it was over my head.
But I did like that someone with a background in science explored the idea of science and religion complimenting each other, instead of being at absolute odds. While I don't think it's going to convince anyone who doesn't have existing belief in these religious texts, it may be helpful for those who do believe to be able to embrace the science.

While I don't normally read religious-based books, I found this one interesting in that it tried to intertwine religion and science together to get the author's point across. I rate it 3 out of 4 stars.

[Marcel Cantu]

I rated this book three out of four stars. What I liked most about the book was the themes and topics it presented. The issue with the book to me is that it is directed at specific religious beliefs and may not be relatable for everyone. I would recommend this book because I believe it contains interesting subject matters and quality writing.

[aodonnell]

I rated it a 3 out of 4 stars. I felt that he repeated a lot of information and that the true focus of the book was on Kabbalah and the Jewish Torah. While the Bible is similar to the Torah in the first 5 books, it just didn't sit well with me.

I felt the same way. The use of the world "biblical" in the title led me to believe that the author would draw from the Bible, but it definitely was more Jewish and Jewish mysticism. I think it could mislead and frustrate readers if they go in expecting it to be more of a Christian book instead of Jewish or mystical.

[Juliet+1]

I would rate "The Biblical Clock" 3 out of 4 stars. The writing is top notch. I particularly liked the way the author presented certain forays into the past as if they were actually happening and the reader could watch. It's an easy read too; there is no problem understanding ideas, concepts, and events. But the approach of, in a sense, "proving" the validity of the bible by comparing it with history and science is not terribly original. Many writers have done this, most often by comparing the book of Genesis to the Big Bang theory, but sometimes using other strategies as well.

I enjoyed the book and rated it four out of four stars. I didn't like the math involved but the charts helped immensely. I really liked all the resources you included so that I could research on my own.

[TheMazeRunner]

This is definitely a book meant for a specific group of people. As a believer of a different religion, I find that book like this one could help us learn about something new. This book was a bit complex for me, but it was okay.

[Mvictoria]

I liked the fictional stories the best in this book. I thought they did a great job helping to capture the motivations and the "stories" of each of the characters. I think they also helped me connect with the text better than I would in a different non-fiction book. I liked the story of the beginning of the End of Days the least. I thought it was kind of pointless because the author is just making stuff up and not using historical accounts to back up his fiction. It seemed to drag on forever and I was so uninterested.
