The Gospel in the StarsRavenio Books, 2008 - 524 pagini “IT may seem adventurous to propose to read the Gospel of Christ from what Herschel calls “those uncouth figures and outlines of men and monsters usually scribbled over celestial globes and maps.” So it once would have seemed to the writer. But a just estimate of the case cannot be formed without a close survey of what these figures are, what relations they bear to each other, whence they originated, and what meaning was attached to them by the most ancient peoples from whom they have been transmitted to us. Such a survey the author of this volume has endeavored to make. From an extended induction he has also reached conclusions which lead him to think he may do good service by giving publicity to the results of his examinations.” This classic includes the following chapters: 1. The Starry Worlds 2. The Sacred Constellations 3. The Desire of Nations 4. The Suffering Redeemer 5. The Toiling Deliverer 6. The Triumphant Warrior 7. Death and New Life 8. The Living Waters 9. The Mystic Fishes 10. The Blessed Outcome 11. The Day of the Lord 12. The Heavenly Union 13. The Blessed Possession 14. The Consummated Victory 15. The Secrets of Wisdom 16. Primeval Man 17. The Star of Bethlehem |
