The Sun Do Move (Classic Reprint): The Celebrated Theory of the Sun's Rotation Around the Earth - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Bold early plant of history: a preacher argues the sun moves around the earth, backed by scripture.
This is a nonfiction extract that presents Rev. John Jasper’s pulpit remarks from Richmond, Virginia, delivered in 1882. It compiles his defense of a geocentric view and his method of using biblical passages to support the sun’s motion around the earth. The text shows how he frames truth through scripture, addresses critics, and speaks to his audience with urgency and personal conviction.
In this edition, you’ll see:
- The preacher’s core claim that the sun’s movement is proven by biblical text, with multiple verses cited as evidence.
- How he contrasts a dream with a vision and defends the authority of scripture in everyday life.
- Illustrative examples he uses, from the rising and setting of the sun to descriptions of Providence and mortality.
- The tone of a 19th‑century sermon that blends theology, biography, and public speech to persuade listeners.
Ideal for readers curious about 19th‑century biblical interpretation, religious rhetoric, and the historical debates around cosmology and scripture.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating story of Reverend John Jasper, a prominent figure in 19th-century American religious history. The author meticulously examines Jasper's renowned sermon, "The Sun Do Move," delivered in Richmond, Virginia, in 1882. This sermon, based on a literal interpretation of the Bible, ignited both controversy and fervent support, reflecting the complex social and intellectual landscape of the post-Reconstruction era. The text explores the theological underpinnings of Jasper's argument, his passionate defense of biblical literalism, and the cultural context that shaped his worldview. The author situates Jasper's beliefs within the broader history of African American religious thought, illuminating the ways in which Black communities navigated faith, science, and social change during a tumultuous period. This book offers a thought-provoking journey into the life and legacy of a preacher who challenged conventional wisdom and left an indelible mark on American religious discourse. By examining Jasper's unwavering convictions and the debates they sparked, the author invites us to contemplate the enduring power of faith, the complexities of biblical interpretation, and the intersections of religion and society. Ultimately, this work sheds light on the profound impact of one man's beliefs on a nation grappling with its own identity and the ever-evolving relationship between science and religion.
