The Biblical Clock

Revisado: 07-30-20

The Biblical Clock is a mind-bending analysis of the Biblical account of earth’s existence past, present and future. In it, author Daniel Friedman and Dania Sheldon, sets out to demonstrate that science and Scripture are not distinguishable in their views of the age of the universe. The book is divided into three parts. In part one - ‘Beginnings and Timelines’, Friedman and Sheldon introduce the concepts of great minds of science and scripture. I enjoyed the chapter on Dinosaurs and Denim. I thought the analogy of jeans designed to appear aged which the authors used to understand the concept of a mature universe articulated by Rabbi Rebbe and naturalist Gosse was original. In the second part of the book the authors typify an impressive fictional narrative of what should happen toward the end of earth’s history. This nail-biting narration depicts the culmination of final events of the end of days - the battle of Gog and Magog which ushers in the Messiah and new world. In the third part of the book entitled ‘Beyond Timelines’, the topic of the first sin is discussed. The authors propose they ways that this act shaped history, and the impact it must have on the outcome of planet earth.

This is an excellent book for persons who enjoy exploring topics in science and Scripture. Also, persons who are curious about Jewish perspectives on the Bible Creation and timelines will enjoy reading this book. This book was an elevating read. Apart from the extensive content, the material was well presented. Hence, I rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars.
