Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Astronomy of the Bible The volume here offered to the public contains the last finished astronomical work of Professor Mitchel; and, with those that he published before his death, constitutes a series which, if not exhaustive of the accepted divisions of the science, presents, in outline, its great physical features and its ethical relations. The Planetary and Stellar Worlds, published in 1848, contained a popular exposition of the important discoveries and splendid theories of modern astronomy. It traced the progress of the great science from the primitive ages, showing how, little by little, the true theory dawned upon the feeble mind of man, fearful and long unwilling to receive it; it presented the great laws, with copious and eloquent illustration; it ofi'ered clear solu tions of the wondrous problems; discussed the discovery of new planets and the characteristics of the cometary world; displayed the grandeur of the scale upon which the universe is built, and showed the benevolent provisions for its perma nent stability.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Astronomy and the Bible The writer of the following pages, throughout his active life, has been a close student of nature, and the starry universe all about us has had its full share of his attention. He has gathered a fine assemblage of most entertaining facts; and the reader, whether a be liever in the Bible or not, will be interested in Observing that the astronomy of the Bible is far in advance Of the time in which it was written, for only after some of the latest research with telescope, spectroscope, and camera, have seemingly obscure and meaningless passages of the Bible been understood. Dr. Reed has been a popular writer for magazines, as well as of books; and one of his major themes has been the astronomy of the Bible. The popularity of his astronomy magazine articles, and the urgent demand that many of them be printed over and over again, has led to the preparation of this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Astronomy of the Bible: An Elementary Commentary on the Astronomical References of Holy Scripture Because commentators as a rule are not astronomers, and therefore either pass over the astronomical allusions of Scripture in silence, or else annotate them in a way which, from a scientific point of view, leaves much to be desired. Astronomical allusions in the Bible, direct and indirect, are not few in number, and, in order to bring out their full significance, need to be treated astronomically. Astronomy further gives us the power of placing ourselves to some degree in the position of the patriarchs and prophets of old. We know that the same sun and moon, stars and planets, shine upon us as shone upon Abraham and Moses, David and Isaiah. We can, if we will, see the unchanging heavens with their eyes, and understand their attitude towards them.

Meeting with a favorable reception, both from its vigorous treatment of the vital questions which called it forth, and from a native interest belonging to the higher themes upon which it touches - an interest to which the human mind is ever alive - the author was twice led to enlarge and improve the treatise, until in the third edition it has reached its present size. In the work of translation I have endeavored fairly and faithfully to present the sentiments and views of the author, without omission or accommodation - all responsibility for their character of course resting with himself.

And leaving all these great mysteries forever unexplained that go to develope every single feature connected with it, as well as might be by actua' disco ery. We will take the Earth from its primitive state through a succession of grades, as itoriginated from thatdtrlt state into a world of light, that goes to develop. Its collossivr form. Although the bible does not explain all these things direct, because it aims at our spiritual interest, which is or more impor tance to us than all the glories of this world, that go in part to give us the great character of the builder; yet when it is properly interpreted, and brought into proper form, it is more than evident; although many say that the bible will prove everything, the writer denies the posibihty of proving anythzng else but the one form Conneted with the Earth and its mechan ism, as laid down in the present illustration. There are many things brought to bear in the present treaties that the bible does not explain direct. For instance, the polar prosections, or land surrounding the poles, which has to be inferred for this good reason, 111 re lation to the flood First: 'i he waters that composed it were taken but of the Earth, or from the immense seas on the in's1de of the exterior world; and if the seas were ionnected by the poles in any way the 'water would pass into them as fast as it arose outs1de.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally available, a high quality book of the original classic edition of The Astronomy of the Bible. It was previously published by other bona fide publishers, and is now, after many years, back in print. This is a new and freshly published edition of this culturally important work by E. Walter Maunder, which is now, at last, again available to you. Enjoy this classic work today. These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Astronomy of the Bible: It will be noticed that the Classical age did not commence until about the time of the completion of the last books of the Old Testament; so we do not find any reference in Holy Scripture to the astronomical achievements of that period, amongst which the first attempts to explain the apparent motions of sun, moon, stars, and planets were the most considerable. ...We cannot for a moment expect that any [7]supernatural revelation of purely material facts would be imparted to the writers of sacred books, two or three thousand years before the progress of science had brought those facts to light, and we ought not to be surprised if expressions are occasionally used which we should not ourselves use to-day, if we were writing about the phenomena of nature from a technical point of view. ...For by these words they were taught that all the host of heaven and of earth were created things-merely 'things, ' not divinities-and not only that, but that the Creator was One God, not many gods; that there was but one law-giver; and that therefore there could be no conflict of laws. ...It was then pointed out that, so far as the narrative was concerned, there might have been a period of almost unlimited duration between its first verse and its fourth; and it was suggested that the six days of creation were six days of twenty-four hours each, in which, after some great cataclysm, 6,000 years ago, the face of the earth was renewed and replenished for the habitation of man, the preceding geological ages being left entirely unnoticed. ... Other commentators have laid stress on the truth revealed in Scripture that 'one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day, ' and have urged the argument that the six days of creation were really vast periods of time, during which the earth's geological changes and the evolution of its varied forms of life were running their course.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origin of Light and Defence of the Bible The backbone of Astronomy is Gravita tion. This law was put forth with some hesitancy by its illustrious discoverer. The cause of it is unknown. It may be true. Newton himself said it was by no means final. It is therefore possible for higher laws to lie concealed which, when found, may throw a wonderful light upon the few words of biblical astronomy. Even the pos sible possibility of this cancels all cross ideas between what Is written and what has been so far found out.
