Natural Theology And Genesis Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Natural Theology and Genesis A natural theology treats of the existence and character of God as these may be known from reason and nature. A natural theology in its relations to Genesis accredits the form of the argument and the sequence of the thought to inspiration. We feel warranted in this contradictory form of title from the fact, that on a close analysis of the record of creation the argument proceeds in the steps followed by those who have discussed the question in a natural theology, presenting their evidences from the ontological, the cosmological, the teleological, and the moral sources. If now we attempt to write an exposition on the record of creation we naturally fall into this line of argument. And it is found on close analysis of the record of creation, that God has already given us a work on natural theology. The last point is drawn out at great length in other parts of scripture, and we further note, that if we would formulate our theology faultlessly we must follow the Word of God. It is found also that when we have written our natural theology we have also written a satisfactory exposition on the record of creation. In this theses on natural theology we endeavor to follow the sequence of thought as given by inspiration because of its comprehensiveness, and also for the purpose of bringing into review the relation that exists between the creations and the record of them given by inspiration. Endeavoring if possible to remove some difficulties that have been in the way of a correct understanding of the theology as we think it.

Excerpt from The Beginning of Things in Nature and in Grace: Or a Brief Commentary on Genesis It is evident that our interpretation of the Bible will depend very largely upon what we consider the Bible to be. If we look upon it simply as a human production among other human productions, - a system of religion among other systems, - then we shall expect mistakes, false standards, and false reasonings, as we do elsewhere. But if the Bible is exceptional - a revelation from God, and not merely the teachings of man, we shall expect to find it a transcript of his character - a pure, true, and safe guide in all that it professes to be. It is given to man as God's way of salvation from sin and death. In dealing with it, the question of authorship is our first question. The Word And Works Of God Equally From Him It is much the same with the word of God as with his works. Where did the heavens and the earth come from? Did God make them? or did solid ground come from nebulous matter and that we know not whence? If so, then we may believe in a chance law evolving an orderly cosmos out of chaos, in vegetable and animal, coming as the result of spontaneous generation, and man with his wonderful faculties and possibilities the descendant of Simian ancestors.

Excerpt from A Statement of the Natural Sources of Theology: With a Discussion of Their Validity, and of Modern Sceptical Objections; To Which Is Added an Article on the First Chapter of Genesis In the first half of the present century Auguste Comte published his system of Positive Philosophy. It has found few disciples; and the vagaries of Comte's later years, when he became, as sober English sense would declare, insane in his worship of mankind in general, and women in particular, have weakened very much the direct power of his name. Yet his writings at one time exerted a great influence; and some of the clearest English and French writers of our day owe to him, indirectly, more than they, perhaps are, them selves aware.

Excerpt from Genesis and Science, or the First Leaves of the Bible Where I could not adopt their arguments or make their conclusions my own, I endeavoured to show, from what are deemed authoritative statements, how great is the confusion among themselves, and how utterly without weight and value, in consequence, must be the assertions hazarded by scientists against the Book of Genesis. If censured, as I shall be, for not recklessly deciding some of the burning questions of the day, I shall quietly submit and take it very patiently. Is there not a time for everything '3 If revelation has long since closed its canon, certainly science has not, and before this is done, it is vain to apprehend danger for the cause of truth.

The Natural History of Creation is the third and final installment in M.A. Corey's natural theology series. This remarkable trilogy has worked in tandem with the findings of modern science to help spearhead the rebirth of the once-dead natural theology movement. In this detailed, yet easy to read work, the author focuses on the religious account of creation found in Genesis One and comes to the astonishing conclusion that there is indeed much scientific truth to be found in this ancient work. Many other writers have also noticed the breathtaking parallels that exist between modern evolutionism and the creation account given in the Bible, but nowhere will the reader find a more thorough description of them than in The Natural History of Creation. - Back cover.

This beautifully illustrated storybook ushers children into a story of adventure, mystery, and wonder in which they discover life-changing truths about God, themselves, and the world around them.

Excerpt from Nature and Man Before and After the Deluge: Being a Brief Defence of the Literal Reading of the First Ten Chapters of Genesis In the second chapter of Genesis we read, for the Loan god had not caused it to rain upon the cart and in immediate connection, But there went up a moist from the earth, and watered tire whole face of like grownd. The reader will please note, that we etahoe'ze certain words in our quota tions from the Sacred record, to draw and fix his attention, because these and like passages will be taken up or referred to again, as we proceed in the elucidation of the subject. In looking back toward the past, through the long vista of ages, - obscured to human perception by its remoteness, -f0r a solution of the how and the when, -the period and the manner, of the Begin ning of Things, we require a data, and a ground whereon reason may take her stand, fand survey, as from an elevation, the otherwise incomprehensible scene. That data and that, stafid-point is the Jew ish Scriptures. There is no other volume in the world which reveals to man the true g0d[ the crea tion of the heavens and the earth; and his own quickening, fearfully and wonderfully made, whereby the clod of the valley, touched by the breath of the divine spirit, was transmuted into a living soul.
