Review of The Biblical Clock
The Biblical Clock: The Untold Secrets Linking the Universe and Humanity with God’s Plan is a non-fiction book authored by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon. It is an enthralling read that tries to link religion and science. For centuries, this has been a subject that has caused divisions among people. Some believing in the bible, while some believing that the bible is a made-up book. The authors try to answer the questions that create disputes between religious people and scientists.
So, is there a connection between biblical events and science? Can they both be correct? For years, people have had divided opinions concerning the origin of the universe. Some believe that God created the world and everyone is a descendant of Adam and Eve, while others believe in the scientific theories that explain the origin of humankind. This book tries to compare and discuss the history of the universe through the lenses of both science and religion. It is divided into three parts. Part one focuses on analyzing the biblical texts and scientific findings that talk about the beginning of the universe. The second part focuses on the end of days and the authors' estimation of how it could happen. Part three takes us back to the beginning and reveals how it all happened.
I liked how this book was informative. The author did thorough research on the topics discussed. The book itself was engaging. The authors used images, and their explanations were believable. I didn’t agree with everything they said, but I commend their attempt to making a case. The tone used was conversational, and many readers will love it. The inclusion of a glossary and table of content will make it easy for readers to cross-reference. Friedmann and Sheldon did a fantastic job in making sure the multilingual words used don’t affect the reading experience.
The arguments and discussions in this book were vivid. They demanded an intense amount of attention so as not to get mixed up. I was a little all over the place for a moment, but it had me engrossed as soon as I got my grip. The authors’ inclusion of their personal stories made the book engaging. There were familiar names like Isaac Newton that will also make the book relatable to many readers.
There is nothing I disliked about this book. The writing was satisfying, and the authors did an exceptional job with the editing. I did not encounter any grammatical errors. With that in mind, I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. Anyone interested in the stories about the origin of the universe should give it a read.
