Have you ever felt like the scientific evidence and theories do not go hand in hand with what you have heard about The Creation? Have you ever felt the need to find some reconciliation between science and your religious beliefs? Then this is the book for you, The Biblical Clock by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon.

As per this book, God is real. And His doings, including creating the earth and life on it, are real. All these are perfectly backed up by science. But at some points science cannot answer some questions, because they do not have a logical explanation, rather than they have been purely the God's doings. So, if the history which is given in the Bible and other religious scriptures is true, is the end of the world too is a reality? What should we do to either prevent it or to survive from it?

Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon have done a lot of research before writing this book, so the content included are really convincing. The writing was simple, and the content was well arranged according to a chronological order. The references are linked with hyperlinks, which I have not seen in many books, and it was really helpful to go directly to a reference while reading in comparison to turning pages all the way to the end. What I liked most is the inclusion of fictional stories and dialogues within the serious research stuff, which helped to break the monotonous flow and make the book more interesting.

The book was edited exceptionally well, and I found no errors. The author has been kind enough to include relevant maps, images, and even flow charts and tables to enhance the understanding of the reader. Although I do not personally believe in the God or His creation, I can heartily rate this book with 4 out of 4 stars because there were no negative points (or things that I disliked) to point out objectively.

I would like to recommend this book to those who believe in God, and are in need of modern scientific data that can back their beliefs. I think it is necessary to have a basic knowledge in Christian teachings to understand the content better. So if you are clueless about the biblical teachings, or if you get annoyed by 'creation-related' stuff, then it is better for you to steer away from this one. But I think this suits to anyone with an open mind who love to read scholarly work.

I have always thought of the tension that exist between science and religion. Seeing a book reconcile these too was nice. Interesting review.

Yes, the author has attempted a reconciliation, although it is not perfect. Thank you for stopping by.
