Review by Book Reader18 -- The Biblical Clock
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Biblical Clock" by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon.]
The Biblical Clock: The Untold Secrets Linking the Universe and Humanity with God’s Plan by Daniel Friedmann with Dania Sheldon is quite an exciting read. It follows the author as he searches for answers to multiple questions on which science and the Christian religion seem to differ significantly. There are many topics discussed, such as how a six-day creation compares to scientific records, the signs of the end of the world, and many other overarching questions that have wedged between scientific and religious communities for decades. The author writes this book in a way that makes the reader feel like they are jumping through time, slowly piecing together a puzzle that seemed to have no matching parts. This book is a must-read for Christians and a should-read for others that are curious about the science-religion bridge.
I enjoyed the topic of this book to a great extent. I wish that more sources of literature focused on bridging the gap between science and the bible. After reading this book, I found that many beliefs that I thought were irreparable between the two came together quite beautifully. I also appreciate the scientific approach to the subject matter the author chose to take. The author found questions, searched sources, compiled evidence, and drew a conclusion based on his findings. This makes the sometimes hard-to-understand concepts being discussed easier to comprehend.
Unfortunately, I almost could not continue reading the book after the first few chapters. Parts of each chapter are written as biographies for the people related to the author’s topics. This happens throughout the book, and though I found some of them interesting, I do not see why so much detail was needed regarding the lives of the people being discussed.
I would rate this book overall a 3 out of 4 stars. This book appears to be professionally edited, which adds to the overall ethos of the writing. I really enjoyed the scientific approach that this book takes; however, I was very tempted to stop reading after the first few chapters. As stated above, there were many biography-centered parts to this book, and I do not see why they needed to be as long and detailed as they were.
I would recommend this book to anyone searching to fill the gap between religious texts and science, especially Christians. I also think anyone curious about the science of how the universe came to be or information about the end of days would enjoy reading.
