Product Description
Product Description
Book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1884. Excerpt: ... SUPPLEMENT. NOTICES OF "THE GOSPEL IN THE STARS," CRIT1 CISMS, REPLIES TO QUESTIONS AND OBJECTIONS WITH FURTHER EXPLANATIONS, ARGUMENTS, AUTHORITIES, AND A GENERAL INDEX. Notices. The author of this book has no reason to complain of a lack of notices of his work. The press in general has referred to it, and a hundred or more of such notices have come into his possession. Some of these have been very sympathetic with the theme and have much commended the argument. Thus, Stoddart's Review, among other favorable expressions, says: "He makes it apparent that the strange figures belonging to the constellations were familiar at a period that antedates by thousands of years any known religious faith which failed to recognize the existence and power of the true God. The evidence is strong which maintains that these devices had their origin in the very earliest ages of the world; and this one fact, proved as it seems to be, may be accepted as excellent testimony to their divine origin; and if that origin was divine, then it is fair to attempt, as Dr. S. does, to ascertain what was the purpose of their arrangement. If the hand of the Creator appears in these signs, confessed thrcjgb all the centuries tc be surrounded by mystery, and having a persistent existence which cannot be accounted for by the action of purely human agencies, then it is a fair inference that there is behind them some wonderful and eternal purpose which man, in a just spirit of reverence, may seek to detect." Thus, The J Ycphetic Times says: "The correspondence between the starry groups and the Sacred Scriptures is traced with a vigorous pen, and invested with an absorbing interest as vivid as it is novel; and we rise from its perusal with the conviction that there can be no question but that the Gospel glows in these hea...

words have meanings
25 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
Having read many books on this subject, including the book by D.James Kennedy, I consider this the best. It does in fact take into consideration the fact that the stars have moved since the ancient names were changed to the modern. Also the MIRRACLE IN STONE, BY SEISS, was in conjunction with his study of the Temple at Ein Gaihdi, which depects the ancient zodiac of about the time of the flood. The simple fact overlooked by Hunt is that in the ancient languages, the stars tell the gospel. And the original purpose of the materials he drew from were actually a study in lexiconography whose purpose was to prove the existence of an original language on earth,,,and only happened to lead to the larger realization that the mysteries were a corruption of the ancient zodiac, and not as is commonly believed, that christianity drew on mystery sources. This is a must read for the Christian.....

The most highly trusted and authoritative source....
29 July 2001
Format:Paperback
This book is certainly the most authoritative and trusted source on the subject of Biblical Astronomy. Having owned more than one copy of this text, as well as multiple copies of other manuscripts of this type(and having a background of Theological study), I can say without a doubt that this book is an absolute MUST HAVE for anyone interested in Biblical Astronomy.

A Brilliant Work Shows Traditional Views of Man Wrong
21 Nov 1998
Format:Paperback
I loved this book and think you will too. It shows that the original design of the cosmos created by a SUPERIOR MIND and Being told the story of mankind. Astrology is a cheap substitute for ancient truth. These ancient truths in no way conflict with the Scripture, rather they buttress it in many ways. An amazing work! I reviewed this work for a publication I edit.
