Publisher's Synopsis
The Comet Legend in the Book of Job by Ignatius Donnelly is a book that explores the connection between the biblical story of Job and the appearance of comets in the sky. Donnelly argues that the description of the ""whirlwind"" in the Book of Job is actually a description of a comet, and that the story of Job is based on ancient myths and legends related to comets. He delves into the history and mythology of various cultures, including the Babylonians, Greeks, and Egyptians, to show how comets were often viewed as omens or portents of disaster. Donnelly also examines the scientific properties of comets, such as their composition and movement, and how they have been observed and studied throughout history. The Comet Legend in the Book of Job is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between religion, mythology, and science, and sheds new light on the ancient story of Job.THIS 46 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Ragnarok: The Age of Fire and Gravel, by Ignatius Donnelly.
