The Annals of the World

**Abstract:**
*The Annals of the World* (2003 edition) is a modern English translation of Archbishop **James Ussher’s** 1658 chronology, which traces world history from the biblical Creation—calculated by Ussher to have occurred in 4004 BC—to the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. Edited and translated by Larry and Marion Pierce, this updated edition retains Ussher’s detailed historical records drawn from Scripture, ancient manuscripts, and classical sources, while enhancing accessibility with contemporary language, explanatory footnotes, maps, charts, and appendices. Blending biblical narrative with secular history, the work reflects both Ussher’s theological convictions and his effort to provide a unified historical timeline, making it a valuable reference for students of biblical chronology, church history, and historical theology.

Specific Detail Info

**Specific Details:** *The Annals of the World* by **James Ussher**, republished in **2003** by **Master Books**, is a modern English translation and update of Ussher’s 1658 historical chronology. Originally written in Latin, Ussher’s work sought to present a comprehensive biblical and historical timeline from the creation of the world to the first century AD, famously dating Creation to 4004 BC. The 2003 edition, translated and edited by Larry and Marion Pierce, preserves Ussher’s meticulous historical notes while making the text accessible to contemporary readers. It includes references to ancient civilizations, biblical events, and classical sources, accompanied by extensive footnotes, maps, charts, and appendices.
