Book Description
Astrology, the age-old system of divination that seeks to establish a correlation between celestial phenomena and events on Earth, has managed to sustain its allure across millennia. Despite centuries of scientific advancements, the quest for guidance, for understanding our identities, and for peeking into the future through the alignment of stars and planets persists. As a Christian apologist, I have ventured to confront this deeply entrenched belief system that not only deviates from core Judeo-Christian teachings but also subverts scientific understanding. This book aims to undertake a comprehensive examination of astrology from a Christian apologetic point of view. I invite readers from all walks of life to journey with me through a critical exploration of astrology's foundations, its appeal, its inconsistencies, and its conflict with both scientific reason and Christian faith. The objective here is not merely to criticize but to provide a nuanced understanding of why astrology is incompatible with a worldview anchored in the teachings of the Bible and the advancements of modern science.

It has been prized by students ever since its first publication in 1647. The Horary Astrology in these pages, in the hands of a master, is no mere parlour game.

Modern spelling throughout, this edition includes Lilly's bibliography, his original index & a new glossary. Also includes his original woodblock charts, and their modern versions. This is Lilly's great work as he himself knew it.

Genesis and Cosmos
Author: Adam Rasmussen
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004396934
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
In Genesis and Cosmos Adam Rasmussen examines how Basil and Origen addressed scientific problems in their interpretations of Genesis 1. For the first time, he offers an in-depth analysis of Basil’s thinking on three problems in Scripture-and-science: the nature of matter, the super-heavenly water, and astrology. Both theologians worked from the same fundamental perspective that science is the “servant” of Christianity, useful yet subordinate. Rasmussen convincingly shows how Basil used Origen’s writings to construct his own solutions. Only on the question of the water does Basil break with Origen, who allegorized the water. Rasmussen demonstrates how they sought to integrate science and Scripture and thus remain instructive for those engaged in the dialogue between religion and science today.

Astrology and Popular Religion in the Modern West
Author: Dr Nicholas Campion
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1409461491
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
This book explores an area of contemporary religion, spirituality and popular culture which has not so far been investigated in depth, the phenomenon of astrology in the modern west. Locating modern astrology historically and sociologically in its religious, New Age and millenarian contexts, Nicholas Campion considers astrology's relation to modernity and draws on extensive fieldwork and interviews with leading modern astrologers to present an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the origins and nature of New Age ideology. This book challenges the notion that astrology is either 'marginal' or a feature of postmodernism. Concluding that astrology is more popular than the usual figures suggest, Campion argues that modern astrology is largely shaped by New Age thought, influenced by the European Millenarian tradition, that it can be seen as an heir to classical Gnosticism and is part of the vernacular religion of the modern west.

Veritas
Author: Ariel Sabar
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0525433899
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
From the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author comes the gripping true story of a sensational religious forgery and the scandal that shook Harvard. In 2012, Dr. Karen King, a star religion professor at Harvard, announced a breathtaking discovery just steps from the Vatican: she’d found an ancient scrap of papyrus in which Jesus calls Mary Magdalene “my wife.” The mysterious manuscript, which King provocatively titled “The Gospel of Jesus’s Wife,” had the power to topple the Roman Catholic Church. It threatened not just the all-male priesthood, but centuries of sacred teachings on marriage, sex, and women’s leadership, much of it premised on the hallowed tradition of a celibate Jesus. Award-winning journalist Ariel Sabar covered King’s announcement in Rome but left with a question that no one seemed able to answer: Where in the world did this history-making papyrus come from? Sabar’s dogged sleuthing led from the halls of Harvard Divinity School to the former headquarters of the East German Stasi before landing on the trail of a Florida man with an unbelievable past. Could a motorcycle-riding pornographer with a fake Egyptology degree and a prophetess wife have set in motion one of the greatest hoaxes of the century? A propulsive tale laced with twists and trapdoors, Veritas is an exhilarating, globe-straddling detective story about an Ivy League historian and a college dropout—and how they worked together to pass off an audacious forgery as a long-lost piece of the Bible.
