The Gospel in the Stars: Primeval Astronomy

by Joseph Seiss

Publisher:

Charles C. Cook

, 1910

Overview

In this unconventional take on ancient astronomy, Joseph A. Seiss connects the lore behind the constellations with the gospel narrative. Where William Herschel saw only “uncouth figures and outlines of men and monsters . . . scribbled over celestial globes,” Seiss sees another “system of God’s universal enunciations of the Christ.” Seiss argues that the connections between these stories of the stars and the gospel are faithful retellings of God’s good news, rather than corruptions of the faith.
