I think that the TSK has dates in it, presumably Ussher's. These would be very easy to pull out and make a commentary out of, for example.<br><br clear="all">God Bless,<br>Ben<br>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>

Do you have any<br>
particular Bible version in mind that does this?<br>

There was a very popular edition of the KJV which had the dates (the gospel according to Bishop Ussher) down the centre of the bible (RHS of left page, LHS of right page). Wonderful for six-day creationists. Ussher's Chronology is now sidelined because of the fundamendalist view that in early genesis, the chronology according to Ussher is exact. Ussher himself never claimed that! However, from Israel-in-Egypt onwards, Ussher is accurate (more or less) and archaeologically verifiably so, and thus the dates are useful - but only after Gen 37 or so (some would say only after the Exodus).<br>
<br>
Personally I'd love to have a module with Usser's chronology as footnotes in it. Any version would do. Anyone want to think about making it so?<br>
<br>
God bless,<br>
