Book Description
Excerpt from Scripture Natural History: Containing a Description of Quadrupeds, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibia, Fishes, Insects, Molluscous Animals, Corals, Plants, Trees, Precious Stones, and Metals, Mentioned in the Holy Scriptures This work is designed to direct the attention of the reader to the productions of that land where the Saviour lived, and his apostles taught, and where Abraham, David, Isaiah, and Amos testified of Jehovah. Since the days of the apostles, this land has been laid waste by war, and by famine, war's frequent attendant. Jerusalem, in fulfilment of our Saviour's prediction, was destroyed by Titus; J udea was ravaged by the Romans, and long held by that people as a conquered province. After the fall of the Roman em pire, it was held by the Saracens, and became the theatre Of the Crusades. It now forms part Of the Turkish empire; and the debasing superstition of Mohammed prevails where Christ came to suffer suddie for the Sins Of the world, and thus open the kingdom Of heaven to those who unfeignedly believe in his merits and sacrifice.

Book Description
Threatened by the proliferation of cheap, mass-produced publications, the Religious Tract Society issued a series of publications on popular science during the 1840s. The books were intended to counter the developing notion that science and faith were mutually exclusive, and the Society's authors employed a full repertoire of evangelical techniques—low prices, simple language, carefully structured narratives—to convert their readers. The application of such techniques to popular science resulted in one of the most widely available sources of information on the sciences in the Victorian era. A fascinating study of the tenuous relationship between science and religion in evangelical publishing, Science and Salvation examines questions of practice and faith from a fresh perspective. Rather than highlighting works by expert men of science, Aileen Fyfe instead considers a group of relatively undistinguished authors who used thinly veiled Christian rhetoric to educate first, but to convert as well. This important volume is destined to become essential reading for historians of science, religion, and publishing alike.
