Description
The Biblical Cosmos: A Pilgrim's Guide to the Weird and Wonderful World of the Bible Robin A. Parry explores the ancient world of the Bible, revealing a cosmos that is vastly different from our own. In this guided tour, he shows how the biblical way of seeing the world can still speak God's word afresh into modern times. The biblical universe is characterized by a flat earth at its center, a vast ocean in the sky, and a complex hierarchy of realms, including heaven, hell, and the underworld. Parry delves into this ancient worldview, examining its implications for our understanding of the Bible and its relevance to contemporary life. By exploring the biblical cosmos, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the richness and diversity of the biblical text, and discover new insights into the nature of God and the world we live in.
