E. Walter Maunder of the Royal Observatory — remembered for the sunspot minimum bearing his name — turns in The Astronomy of the Bible to the skies of Scripture: what the Hebrew writers meant by Orion and the Pleiades, the star names, the calendar and its feasts, and the celestial events behind famous passages, all examined with a working astronomer’s rigour.
It is a learned, sympathetic meeting of observatory and text, from an age when one man could command both. Download the free EPUB and see the ancient sky through expert eyes.
