About: Biblical literalist chronology

Biblical literalist chronology is the attempt to correlate the historical dates used in the Bible with the chronology of actual events. The Bible measures time from the date of Creation (years are measured as anno mundi, meaning Year of the World, or B.C.) Some of the better-known calculations include Archbishop James Ussher, who placed it in 4004 BC, Isaac Newton in 4000 BC (both off the Masoretic Hebrew Bible), Martin Luther in 3961 BC, the traditional Hebrew calendar date of 3760 BC, and lastly the dates based on the Septuagint, of roughly 4650 BC. The dates between the Septuagint & Masoretic are conflicting by 650 years between the genealogy of Arphaxad to Nahor in Genesis 11:12-24. The Masoretic text which lacks the 650 years of the Septuagint is the text used by most modern Bibles. T
