Synopsis

A bold challenge to traditional chronology and a fresh look at how Bible history and human diversity fit together.

This nonfiction work presents two public lectures that connect biblical narratives with the physical history of humankind, inviting readers to reexamine long-held assumptions about origins, race, and the dates of ancient events.

The volume includes a prefatory letter that explains the author’s aim to place the natural history of mankind on its own foundation, without forcing it to fit biblical timelines. It offers accessible discussion of ethnology, ancient Egypt, and the moral questions that arise when dates and traditions clash with scientific evidence. While drawing on existing scholarship, the work foregrounds the argument that careful study can illuminate how religious texts relate to real-world history.
  • How the author argues for separating natural history from strict biblical chronology.
  • Views on ancient Egypt, its chronology, and how it informs or challenges biblical timelines.
  • Discussions of ethnology, race, and the use of historical evidence in religious study.
  • Appendices that cover language, canon, and textual history of the Bible.
Ideal for readers of history, ethnology, religious studies, and those interested in the dialogue between science and faith.
