A dissertation on the true age of the world : in which is determined the chronology of the period from creation to the Christian era

This scholarly work tackles one of the most enduring debates in biblical studies: how to reconcile the differing chronologies found in the Hebrew text, the Septuagint, and other ancient sources. The author carefully examines the gaps between these traditions, drawing on the insights of early chronographers and modern astronomers and geologists to assess the true length of the ages from creation to the birth of Christ.

By comparing scriptural genealogies with astronomical cycles and geological findings, the dissertation offers a methodical approach to dating biblical events. Readers will encounter a clear presentation of competing timelines—ranging from traditional Jewish calculations to the higher figures supported by the Septuagint—and an exploration of how each influences interpretations of prophecy and history. The study invites scholars and curious listeners alike to reconsider the age of the world through a balanced, evidence‑based lens.
