Book Description

Excerpt from The Origin of the World According to Revelation and Science The scope of this work is in the main identical with that of Archaia, published in 1860; but in attempt ing to prepare a new edition brought up to the present condition of the subject, it was found that so much re quired to be rewritten as to make it essentially a new book, and it was therefore decided to give it a new name, more clearly indicating its character and pur pose. The intention of this new publication is to throw as much light as possible on the present condition of the much-agitated questions respecting the origin of the world and its inhabitants. To students of the Bible it will afford the means of determining the precise import of the biblical references to creation, and of their relation to what is known from other sources. To geologists and biologists it is intended to give some intelligible explanation of the connection of the doctrines of revealed religion with the results of their respective sciences.
