Publisher's Synopsis
Genesis and Science: Or The First Leaves of the Bible is a book written by John Muehleisen Arnold and published in 1875. This book explores the relationship between the biblical account of creation in the book of Genesis and the scientific theories of the time. Arnold argues that there is no conflict between the two and that science can actually help to illuminate the meaning of the biblical text. He examines the creation story in Genesis in detail, looking at the symbolism and allegory used, and compares it to the scientific understanding of the origins of the universe and life on Earth. Arnold also discusses the role of faith and reason in understanding the relationship between science and religion. This book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between faith and science and remains relevant today, over 140 years after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
