Synopsis

""A Series Of Discourses On The Christian Revelation, Viewed In Connection With The Modern Astronomy"" is a book written by Thomas Chalmers in 1817. The book consists of a series of discourses that explore the relationship between Christianity and modern astronomy. Chalmers argues that the discoveries made in astronomy do not contradict Christian teachings, but rather serve to reinforce them.Throughout the book, Chalmers discusses various topics related to astronomy and Christianity, including the nature of the universe, the existence of God, and the role of humanity in the cosmos. He draws on both scientific and theological knowledge to present a compelling case for the compatibility of these two seemingly disparate fields.Chalmers was a prominent figure in the Scottish church during the early 19th century, and his writings on the relationship between science and religion were influential in shaping the debate on this topic. ""A Series Of Discourses On The Christian Revelation, Viewed In Connection With The Modern Astronomy"" is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the intersection of science and faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The astronomical, objection against the truth of the gospel does not occupy a very prominent place in any of our treatises of infidelity. It is often, however, met with in conversation; and we have known it to he the cause of serious perplexity and alarm in minds anxious for the solid establishment of their religious faith. There is an imposing splendor in the science of astronomy; and it is not to be wondered at, if the light it throws, or appears to throw, over other tracks of speculation than those which are properly its own, should at times dazzle and mislead an inquirer.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In 1817 the Scottish mathematician and churchman Thomas Chalmers (1780–1847), who was later invited to write one of the Bridgewater Treatises (also reissued in this series) published this book, based on weekday sermons preached by him in Glasgow. His main aim is to refute the 'infidel' argument that because the earth and humanity are such insignificant parts of the universe, God - if he existed - would not care about them. However, he is also addressing the 'narrow and intolerant professors' who 'take an alarm' at the idea of philosophy rather than incorporating science into their Christian preaching. Chalmers writes from the viewpoint of an admirer of science and modern astronomy. However, he also argues that wonder at the magnificence of creation and even acknowledging it as God's work is not enough, and that a truly moral Christian life is essential for salvation.
