Find out: Why was Julius Caesar kidnapped in 75 B.C.? Why did Alexander the Great burn his ships in 326 B.C.? What really happened when the sun "went backward" as a sign to Hezekiah? What does secular history say about the darkness at the Crucifixion? In the years 1650-1654, James Ussher set out to write a history of the world from creation to A.D. 70. The result was published in 1658 as the literary classic "The Annals of the World." This famous comprehensive history of the world, originally published in Latin, offers a look at history rarely seen. Ussher traveled throughout Europe, gathering much information from the actual historical documents. Many of these documents are no longer available, having been destroyed since the time of his research. Integrating biblical history (around 15 percent of the text is from the Bible) with secular sources, Ussher wrote this masterpiece. Considered not only a literary classic, but also an accurate reference, "The Annals of the World" was so highly regarded for its preciseness that the timeline from it was included in the margins of many King James Version Bibles throughout the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. "The Annals of the World" is a necessary addition to any church library, pastor's library, or any library – public or personal. The entire text has been updated from 17th-century English to present-day vernacular in a five-year project commissioned by Master Books.

Here are more classic texts that everyone should have in their collection: The Pilgrim's Progress Anniversary Edition - (Hardcover) By John Bunyan John Bunyan's famous work, "The Pilgrim's Progress" is, next to the Bible, the most popular book ever published. It has been widely distributed the world over since originally published in the 17th century. But many aren't familiar with the story in its original form or its famous author and his life story. "The Researchers Library of Ancient Texts Volume One" contains the Apocrypha and the Books of Enoch and Jasher. These are literary treasures and also help to shed light on many biblical mysteries, scholars say. These ancient texts provide commentators' valuable insight into what many ancient Jews and early Christians believed when, "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets" (Heb. 1:1). "The Researchers Library of Ancient Texts" is therefore intended to be a supplemental resource for assisting serious researchers and students in the study of the Bible and Bible times. It includes: The Book of Enoch, The Book of Jasher, The Book of Jubilees, 1 Esdras, 2 Esdras, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, Tobias, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Susanna, Prayer of Azariah, Prayer of Manasseh, Bel and the Dragon, and Laodiceans. How about a beautiful reproduction of the Geneva Bible – just like the one carried to America by the Pilgrims? When the Pilgrims arrived in America in 1620, they brought along supplies, a consuming passion to advance the Kingdom of Christ, a bright hope for the future, and the Word of God. Clearly, their most precious cargo was the Bible. Have you ever wondered which version of the Bible they brought to America on the Mayflower? There was the King James Version of 1611, but there was an earlier version – one not sanctioned by the government – the 1599 Geneva Bible, a forgotten yet priceless treasure. The Geneva Bible, printed over 200 times between 1560 and 1644, was the most widely read and influential English Bible of the 16th and 17th centuries. This superb translation was the product of the best Protestant scholars of the day and became the Bible of choice for many of the greatest writers, thinkers, and historical figures of that time. Men such as Shakespeare, John Bunyan, and John Milton used the Geneva Bible, and it was reflected in their writings. During the English Civil War, Oliver Cromwell issued a pamphlet containing excerpts from the Geneva Bible to his troops. William Bradford cited the Geneva Bible in his book Of Plymouth Plantation. The Geneva Bible is unique among all other Bibles. It was the first Bible to use chapters and numbered verses and became the most popular version of its time because of the extensive marginal notes. These notes, written by Reformation leaders such as John Calvin, John Knox, Miles Coverdale, William Whittingham, Anthony Gilby, and others, were included to explain and interpret the scriptures for the common people. For nearly half a century these notes helped the people of England, Scotland, and Ireland understand the Bible and true liberty. King James despised the Geneva Bible because he considered the notes on key political texts to be seditious and a threat to his authority. Unlike the King James Version, the Geneva Bible was not authorized by the government. It was truly a Bible by the people and for the people. You can see why this remarkable version with its profound marginal notes played a key role in the formation of the American Republic. Now, more than 400 years after its original publication, this wonderful version of the Bible has been resurrected. Make someone's Christmas very special this year by giving them a copy of "The Pilgrim's Progress Anniversary Edition." This heirloom-quality reproduction of the John Bunyan classic makes a great gift that will never be forgotten. John Bunyan's famous work, "The Pilgrim's Progress" is, next to the Bible, the most popular book ever published. It has been widely distributed the world over since originally published in the 17th century. But many aren't familiar with the story in its original form or its famous author and his life story. This is an exquisite reproduction of a 125-year-old historical compilation manuscript in its original 860-page entirety. This masterpiece will become an instant family heirloom, introducing entire generations to the pilgrim's spiritual journey to truth. This hardcover edition was originally published in 1876. Over 125 years later, Master Books has re-created this valuable and rare heirloom with today's modern technology, but kept the original look and feel by painstakingly scanning in high-resolution every page of this 860-page tome – historic stains and all! "The Pilgrim's Progress" appears in the original large print inside this new edition, creating an easier reading experience for all ages. In addition to a dozen beautiful etchings, this special edition includes: "The Pilgrim's Progress": Written during a brief re-imprisonment in 1675 at the age of 50, John Bunyan's dream, written from a prison cell, has become the most famous allegory in English literature. Written almost 350 years ago, this book has been read in prim parlors, in sophisticated drawing rooms, in royal households, in religion classes, in schoolrooms, in family worship – and still it is read by all those who, too, would be a pilgrim. "The Holy War": John Bunyan wrote this book sometime during the first six years of his incarceration in Bedford Prison. It was first published six years before Bunyan's death. "Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners": A spiritual autobiography, John Bunyan wrote this book at the age of 38 while still in Bedford Prison. It was first published in 1666, the year of the Fire of London. "The Imprisonment and Release of John Bunyan": Published in conjunction with a later version of "Grace Abounding." Unpublished until 1765, 77 years after John Bunyan died. "Bunyan's Dying Sayings": A collection of aphorisms gathered and classified under headings. They are his thoughts, whether uttered in his last illness or expressed earlier in life. "Christian Behaviour": Written in 1663 at the age of 46, while imprisoned in Bedford Prison, this was John Bunyan's third book during his first incarceration. It speaks of the fruits of true Christianity: Teaching husbands, wives, parents, children, masters, servants, etc., and how to walk so as to please God. "The Barren Fig Tree": Written in 1688 at age 60 about the doom and downfall of the fruitless professor – showing that the day of grace may be past with him long before his life is ended. "Bunyan's Last Sermon": John Bunyan died within two months of completing his 60th year, on the 31st of August, 1688. This sermon showed a resemblance between a natural and a spiritual birth; and how every man and woman may try themselves, and know whether they are born again or not. Preached only two days before his fatal illness and 12 days before his death. "The Water of Life": A discourse showing the richness and glory of the grace of the Gospel, as set forth in the Scripture by this term: "The Water of Life." Published the year John Bunyan died.

A BODY OF DIVINITY: The Sum and Substance of Christian Religion This incredible Christian reference work by Archbishop Ussher matches the "Annals" for thoroughness, on the more focused subject area of Reformed theology.

The coherence and integrity of "A Body of Divinity" has been linked by a number of scholars to the most important theological statements of the seventeenth century. For today's Christian, it is simply an extremely practical and nearly addicting read. You will find yourself picking it up over and over, whenever you want to delve into some serious, bite-sized matters of theology and Christian living. To get an idea of the book, here is a snippet from the section on "Fallen Angels": Can the Devil work Miracles, and tell things to come? No: But God only. Mat. 4. 3 Isa. 41.23. What Power have they to hurt Man? They have no more Power than is under Nature, (for above Nature they canot work); and yet they can do nothing by the Power, but what GOD appointeth; not so much as the entering into Hogs. Mat. 8. 31. How are they effected towards Man? Very maliciously: As their several Names given them do declare. What are those Names? First, Satan, because they mortally hate Men. Secondly, Devil: Because they slanderously accuse them to God and Man, Job 1. 11. & 2. 5. Rev. 12. 10. Thirdly: The Old Serpent: For their subtle Temptation. Fourthly, The Great Dragon: For their destroying of Man. Rev. 12. 9. How many of them do attend upon every Man? Sometimes many upon one, and one upon many. What are the Evil Offices they perform against Man? Some are common to the Godly with the Wicked; others are proper to the Wicked alone. Theological areas covered include: Justification. The Commandments. The Priestly office. The Prophetical office. Spiritual warfare. Fasting. Resisting the temptations of the flesh. Baptism. The Lord's Supper. ... and many others, essentially comprising a complete overview of man's proper relation to God and all things Eternal. "A Body of Divinity" is a wonderful book to have in a convenient place around the house, and it will be a treasured gift for any believer.
