Astro-Theology Or, A Demonstration Of The Being And Attributes Of God From A Survey Of The Heavens

Astro-Theology is a book written by William Derham that explores the connection between astronomy and theology. The book is divided into six parts, each of which delves into a different aspect of the relationship between God and the universe. The first part discusses the evidence for the existence of God that can be found in the natural world, particularly through the study of astronomy. The second part explores the attributes of God, such as his power and wisdom, that can be inferred from the design of the universe. The third part examines the ways in which the stars and other celestial bodies can be seen as signs of God's providence and care for his creation. The fourth part looks at the role of angels and other spiritual beings in the universe, and how they are related to the physical world. The fifth part discusses the implications of astro-theology for human morality and ethics, and how the study of the heavens can inspire us to live virtuous lives. Finally, the sixth part considers the implications of astro-theology for the study of Scripture, arguing that the Bible can be read as a book that reveals God's handiwork in the natural world. Overall, Astro-Theology is a fascinating exploration of the relationship between science and religion, and the ways in which the study of the natural world can deepen our understanding of God.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
