	Ussher-Lightfoot Calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ussher's work, more properly known as the Annales veteris testamenti, a prima mundi origine deducti (Annals of the Old Testament, deduced from the first origins of the world), was his contribution to the long-running theological debate on the age of the Earth.
		Ussher's proposed date of 4004 BC was not greatly different from the estimates of the Venerable Bede (3952 BC) or Ussher's near-contemporary, Scaliger (3949 BC).
		Ussher and other biblical scholars were able to achieve a fairly close correspondence between their chronologies, as they used much the same methodology to calculate key events recorded in the Bible.

	James Ussher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Ussher (also spelled Usher) (January 4, 1581–March 21, 1656) was Anglican Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland between 1625–1656 and a prolific religious scholar who most famously published a chronology which dated the Creation from 4004 BC.
		Ussher engaged in extensive debate with Catholic theologians, and pressed for firm measures to be taken against Irish Catholics.
		Although Ussher produced a considerable number of religious works, his most famous was the Annales veteris testamenti, a prima mundi origine deducti ("Annals of the Old Testament, deduced from the first origins of the world"), published in 1650.

	Errors in quoting Bishop Ussher
		Ussher was able to use the ages of famous pre-flood personages in the Bible to estimate the number of years between creation and the flood.
		Bishop James Ussher determined the age of the universe thus: he defined the age of the universe as the time since creation (by God) and measured the age by adding the periods specified in the Bible, suitably corrected using available astronomical and historical records.
		Ussher was made an archbishop of the Church of Ireland in 1625, nine years before the imposition of Anglican articles of faith, a development he was unhappy with.

		Ussher was born in Dublin on the 4 th January, 1581, the son of Arland Ussher and Margaret Stanyhurst.
		Ussher's call for stringent enforcement of the recusancy laws owed much to his upbringing and his strict Calvinist understanding of the Antichrist, but it made uneasy hearing in the political reality of 1622 when James I was attempting to secure a Spanish infanta for the Prince of Wales.
		Ussher fought a rearguard action but his ultimate failure was evident in his decision in the mid 1630s to retreat to the safety of his library at Drogheda and leave the running of the church to Bramhall.

		Parallel to Hammond’s influence is that of another eminent theologian who was never a party man. James Ussher stands somewhat apart in principles from the dominant school of his time.
		The prominent place which Ussher’s name occupies in contemporary accounts of the literature of the seventeenth century is a proof, if one were needed, how much more influential, at the period of crisis which led to the civil war, were personal than literary influences.
		The “gentle soul” of Ussher made men love him and attach more importance to his writings than they deserved: such may well be the view of posterity, and it would not be wholly unfair.

	Creation Science, Ussher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Ussher took a known point in Biblical history, namely, the fall of Jerusalem in 588 B.C. Counting back from there, with the Bible’s genealogies and the known number of years that these people lived, he simply added up the dates to get back to the 4,004 B.C. date for Adam’s birthday.
		Ussher claims that 23 October 4004 BC is the date of the creation of the world.
		While Ussher does add the six 24-hour days for the creation to his calculations, we have ample evidence today to show that the days of creation were long periods of time.

		Through Ussher's tolerance of puritans in Ireland, by Cromwell’s order he was given a state funeral in Westminster Abbey (1656).
		He is considered the Irish link in the 17th century “republic of letters.” His library was bought by the state in 1656 and placed in TCD (1661) where it remains.
		(2 vol., 1650–54), Ussher worked out a system of dates (setting the creation at 4004 B.C.) that was followed for many years to come until disproved in the 19th century.

	James Ussher
		James Ussher was sent to a school in Dublin opened by two political agents of James VI of Scotland, who adopted this manner of averting the suspicions of Queen Elizabeth I's government from their real object, which was to secure a party for James in Ireland in the event of the queen's death.
		For many years Ussher was actively employed both in the government of his diocese and in the publication of several learned works, among which may be specified Emmanuel (a treatise upon the Incarnation), published in 1638, and Britannicarum Ecclesiarum Antiquitates, in 1639.
		All Ussher's property in Ireland was lost to him through the rebellion, except his books and some plate and furniture, but he was assigned the temporalities of the vacant see of Carlisle for his support.

	The Annals of the World by James Ussher
		After a lifetime of research, James Ussher set out to write a history of the world from creation to A.D. The result was published in the 1650s as the literary classic The Annals of the World.
		Using the Bible as his main source, Ussher began with the death Nebuchadnezzar as a reliable date and worked backward through the genealogies of the Old Testament to arrive at the date of creation -- 4004 B.C. Integrating biblical history (around 15% of the text is from the Bible) with secular.
		Popularly discarded when evolutionary-based theories became "vogue" in the last half-century, Archbishop James Ussher was a well-respected and important historical scholar of ancient history during the early 17th century.

		Ussher was neither charlatan nor naive; in fact, he was one of the most learned men of his day.
		The Protestants were alarmed and at the installation of the new Deputy (Sept. 1622) James Ussher, then Protestant Bishop of Meath, taking as his text, "He beareth not the sword in vain," preached a violent sermon in favour of religious persecution.

	Bishop James Ussher Sets the Date for Creation: October 23, 4004 B.C.
		As a Protestant bishop in a Catholic land, Ussher’s obsession with providing an accurate Biblical history stemmed from a desire to establish the superiority of the scholarship practiced by the clergy of his reformed faith over that of the Jesuits, the resolutely intellectual Roman Catholic order.
		Ussher began his calculation by adding the ages of the twenty-one generations of people of the Hebrew-derived Old Testament, beginning with Adam and Eve.
		Ussher reasoned, therefore, that it must have been harvest time, which corresponded with the autumnal equinox: “I have observed that the Sunday, which in the year [4004 B.C.] aforesaid, came nearest the Autumnal Aequinox, by Astronomical Tables, happened upon the 23 day of the Julian October.”

And Lightfoot was an expert in Hebrew, including the Old Testament, and later Jewish writings called the Talmud and the Midrash, as well as being skilled in Latin and Greek.
