Archbishop James Ussher (1581-1656) was a leader the Irish Puritans and staunch supporter of Calvinism during the English Reformation. His colorful history is inseparable from that of Irish Christianity and from major events transpiring simultaneously in England and Scotland. Ussher’s range of achievements are numerous, including ancient languages, patristics, ancient and Irish history, theology, and chronology. He is well known for his work on Earth Creationism which uses a biblical chronology to date God’s creation of the Earth. Creationists theorized that the Earth was only a few thousand years old. Ussher was the first to calculate the specific date of Creation as Sunday, October 23, 4004 BC.Â
