Publisher's Synopsis
The Old Bible And The New Science: An Essay And Four Lectures, written by Jesse Burgess Thomas in 1877, is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between religion and science. In this book, Thomas argues that the Bible and science are not fundamentally opposed to one another, but rather complement each other in important ways. The book consists of an introductory essay and four lectures, each of which delves into a different aspect of the relationship between religion and science. In the first lecture, Thomas examines the role of science in the interpretation of the Bible, arguing that scientific discoveries can help shed light on the meaning of biblical texts. In the second lecture, he explores the ways in which the Bible and science can be reconciled, even when they appear to be in conflict. The third lecture focuses on the relationship between religion and morality, arguing that science can provide important insights into the nature of moral behavior. Finally, in the fourth lecture, Thomas explores the implications of the relationship between religion and science for the future of humanity. Throughout the book, Thomas offers a nuanced and thoughtful perspective on the complex relationship between religion and science. He argues that the two are not inherently opposed, but rather can work together to deepen our understanding of the world around us. This book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the intersection of religion and science, and the ways in which these two fields can inform and enrich one another.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
