The Heavens, the Waters, and the Partridge

Description

The history of the interaction between Christianity and science is often treated as though it began with modern science. However, Christians have grappled with the interaction of their faith and the science of their day since the days of the early Church. The Heavens, the Waters, and the Partridge explores this fascinating and underappreciated history. This book explores various issues, looking at the Scriptural and scientific background, how different historical Christians interacted with the issue, and how that interaction has fared in the light of modern science. This history provides lessons that will help Christians know how to think about the interaction of Christianity and science today. Explore the historical discussion about questions such as: Are the heavens immutable? Has mankind always existed? Is there water under the Earth? Are the heavenly bodies alive? What was the star of Bethlehem? Does the moon give its own light? Where is the bottom of the Earth? And many more.
