Master Books commissioned this important literary work to be updated from the 17th-century original Latin manuscript to modern English and made available to the general public for the first time. In its pages can be found the fascinating history of the ancient world from the Genesis creation through the destruction of the Jerusalem temple. 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?
