Biblical chronology is an essential component of the young-earth creationist perspective, because it provides a way to calculate the age of the earth by working backward through biblical data from a fixed point in history. The renowned chronologist James Ussher used an anchor date of 562 B.C. for the death of Nebuchadnezzar, and together with biblical events covering a time span of 3,442 years suggested the earth was created in 4004 B.C. As new archaeological and historical material has been discovered since Ussher's original publication in the 1650s, other chronologists like Edwin Thiele, Leslie McFall, and Rodger Young have made significant contributions to the current understanding of biblical chronology through their careful and reasoned scholarship. Their work reflects the biblical standard set forth in Titus 2:7–8 (ESV) that says, "in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned." Now is an opportune time to compare Ussher's chronology to these more recent advancements, first because of the progress made in this area of study, and second because of the access that digitization currently provides for the archaeological data used to tie biblical chronology to absolute dates in modern calendar terms. Ussher started with an anchor point in 562 B.C., but other anchor dates have also been found that reach even further back into the history of Israel and Judah. Additionally, historical manuscripts show remarkable harmony of testimony with each other and with events described in God's Word. Their consistent witness affirms and supports the accuracy and reliability of the Bible. This article offers a summary of such records so that readers have a convenient overview of the applicable texts that relate to the Old Testament.
