Review of The Biblical Clock
The Biblical Clock by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon tries to provide answers to religious questions based on scientific argumentation and gives the reader filtered and as accurate information as possible. The book consists of 17 chapters and an appendix. The book also includes a note from the author, which puts the reader in a proper mood and also points out that the book is mainly aimed at three types of readers: you are educated in science and believe in it, although you also know the Bible and notice obvious inconsistencies. Alternatively, you believe in God though you notice the fallacies of your religion and science, and finally, you may be aware of both the Bible and science, though you do not share either perspective and are looking for answers to the questions yourself. Further chapters will help you as much as possible to find answers to your questions.
The first thing I liked about it was the author's note. I immediately assigned myself to one of the three categories and made sure the book was suitable for me. The biblical clock also contains images that not only bring stories to life but also make the book easier to understand. Besides, the book contained a lot of useful information. Like other books, the author does expect us to choose a side. The action originally took place in the thirteenth-century city of Acre, which was a port city on the eastern Mediterranean. The reader is introduced to the history of the city, its rulers, and its importance in this story.
I really liked that the book does not constantly revolve around the same topic. Here you will travel to different centuries, different cities, get acquainted with different facts and events. It is obvious that the author is very educated in this field, and the book was written because of great work and research. Each opinion of the author is supported by facts.
The only negative aspect is that the book is loaded with a lot of information, constantly changing centuries, characters, times that may be difficult for the reader to understand. However, this did not prevent me from enjoying the book, so I rated it 4 out of 4 stars. The book will try to answer the hitherto unanswered questions for you based on facts and argumentation. This book does not belong to the list of books that are read in one breath. You will need to read it slowly and carefully. How and when did the world begin? Why are science and the Bible so contradictory, and what is the truth? You will find the author's opinion on all this in the book. This book is well edited. I did not find any errors.
I recommend the book to Christians; you will learn many unknown facts so far. Also, people who have questions about creating the world, I think will enjoy this book.
