Summary: "As Kyle Greenwood shows, the cosmic language of the Bible is also that of the ancient Near Eastern palace, temple, and hearth. Greenwood also helps us see how the best Christian thinkers have viewed the cosmos in light of Scripture and have grappled with new understandings, as science has advanced from Aristotle to Copernicus to Galileo and the galaxies of deep space. It's a compelling story that both illuminates the text of Scripture and helps us find our own place in the tradition of faithful Christian thinking and interpretation." -- Back Cover
