Review of The Biblical Clock
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Biblical Clock" by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon.]
The Biblical Clock, written by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon, is a non-fiction book that shows how science and religion align. The authors divide the book into two parts. The first part deals with questions and investigations asked by scholars over the years about universe formation. The second part talks about end days, providing some references. The Biblical Clock is a non-fiction work, but the chapter dealing with the end days is fictional. The book starts with a discussion of the time of the crusade in Acre, Israel. It discusses Ben Samuel's life, who was researching creation. After that, the book explains how modern science explains the universe's origin. The authors mention books such as Torah, Otzar Hachaim, and Etz Hayim, which they used to support their research. The authors provide adequate information about Kabbalah. Do you want to know how religion and science relate to matters of creation? Read this book and find out.
What I like most about this book is the comprehensive analysis of ancient philosophers' stories. The authors analyzed their stories and compared them with the known creation story in the Bible, showing how they are related. I also liked the use of visual aids in telling their stories. The visual aids enabled them to support their claims and also helped the readers understand the book better. The information provided in the book was educative and gave the readers a new angle of thinking. I did not think that science and religion relate; with their analysis, I opened my mind and saw the relationship.
The only thing I disliked in this book was the dense glossary that the authors provided since it required more research for readers to understand. It caused more confusion to the reader due to its density.
I rate The Biblical Clock by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon three out of four stars. The book was exceptionally well-edited; hence, I found no errors. It had many positive aspects and only one negative. Since the negative aspect affected the taste of the story, I deducted a star; hence, the rating.
I recommend this book to anyone interested in understanding the relationship between science and religion. It would be helpful since the authors provide an extensive analysis of scientific theories and biblical creation stories and show how they relate. The readers should be of Judaism faith since the authors write the book from a Jewish perspective since they use Jewish scriptures.
