This text investigates what the Bible has to say about astronomical objects and phenomena. The Bible contains many mentions of astronomical things, beginning with creation and concluding with end-time prophecies. Besides the sun and moon, the Bible names groups of stars, Orion, the Pleiades, and the bears. In addition to what the biblical record shows about astronomical phenomena, many people think that it teaches things that it actually does not teach. These concepts are examined in depth as well.

  • Unique among books discussing the intersection of biblical text and astronomy because of the range of questions explored and answered
  • definitive work that explores many popular questions and misconceptions about the universe and the Bible
  • Sorts fact from fiction and truth from popular myths as the true purpose of these enigmatic lights in the night sky are revealed
