Book Description
Considered by C.S. Lewis as perhaps the best dialogue written in English, this friendly, spirited, and often merry exchange takes place at St. Thomas More's peaceful and cultured home in Chelsea.Dialogue Concerning Heresies is a conversation between the experienced humanist and statesman More and an intelligent college student who has been influenced by the spirit and ideas of the new men and reformers, especially Martin Luther and William Tyndale. It addresses questions that continue to be discussed today:Isn't it idolatry to pray to saints, venerate images, and go on pilgrimages?Why listen to what the Church teaches? Shouldn't we go only by Scripture, since it is the word of God?Why didn't the Church want laypeople to have their own Bible, and in English?How do we know which church is the true one?Why waste time on philosophy and other secular studies if the Bible is God's revealed word?This modernized edition of More's Dialogue brings this masterful work into wide circulation for the first time since its publication in 1529.

Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems
Author: Galileo
Publisher: Modern Library
ISBN: 037575766X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 642
Book Description
Galileo’s Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, published in Florence in 1632, was the most proximate cause of his being brought to trial before the Inquisition. Using the dialogue form, a genre common in classical philosophical works, Galileo masterfully demonstrates the truth of the Copernican system over the Ptolemaic one, proving, for the first time, that the earth revolves around the sun. Its influence is incalculable. The Dialogue is not only one of the most important scientific treatises ever written, but a work of supreme clarity and accessibility, remaining as readable now as when it was first published. This edition uses the definitive text established by the University of California Press, in Stillman Drake’s translation, and includes a Foreword by Albert Einstein and a new Introduction by J. L. Heilbron.
