- Latest Review: The Biblical Clock by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon
Review of The Biblical Clock
The Biblical Clock by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon is a non-fiction novel about the origin and evolution of the universe and the human race. Given opposing perspectives on how the cosmos came into being, theology explained it through the creation story and science through the Big Bang theory. This has made it difficult to connect the two. It has also sparked debate over whose version of the truth is correct. In this novel, Friedmann and Sheldon, on the other hand, tried to show why both occurrences are complementary. In The Biblical Clock, the authors were able to demonstrate that the Bible does not claim that everything happened supernaturally. God did practically everything instead by following the laws of nature. He made something from something.
The Biblical Clock is divided into three parts. Part one discusses how the creation story, Genesis, provided us with a date for the end of the world. It demonstrated how the Torah accurately depicts the beginning of existence. Friedmann claims that science and Genesis are complementary rather than antagonistic. The second part of the book examines recorded history in light of scriptural patterns to forecast a possible future. Part three ties lose links together. Friedmann outlines the Kabbalah religion and how this religion believes we might push the world closer to the end of time.
This was a fantastic book to read. Friedmann's unique presentation approach, in which he explains key historical events and future trajectories to his nephew, Seb, in a conversational manner, is one of my favorites. The authors' thesis is presented logically and fluidly. This breathes new life into a story that might otherwise be monotonous.
There isn't a single thing about this book that I don't like. I especially admire the efficiency of Friedmann's work. Instead of expressing his own opinion, he offered a variety of viewpoints. Also, he had the necessary factual data and examples to defend the majority of the content in the book. This book was quite interesting and educational, and I noticed no flaws in it.
The Biblical Clock was well-written and the diction is simple to understand. I found no errors in the book indicating that it had been exceptionally edited. Therefore, I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars
I recommend this book to readers who enjoy novels on science and religion. It is also recommended for anyone interested in learning more about the Bible.
