Digital Logos Edition
The Bible and Astronomy is a post-Enlightenment-era reconciliation between modern science and conservative theology. Drawing thoroughly from Scripture and building on the theological writings of Johannes von Hofmann, John H. A. Ebrard, J. P. Lange, and Franz Delitzsch, this work shows the central position of the earth in the universe and how the universe, by and large, is subservient to the completion of man’s salvation. Kurtz also wrote numerous periodical articles on the subject, focusing on where the theology of the Old Testament was at odds with geophysical and astronomical scientific progress. This third edition takes the findings of his articles and synthesizes them with his previous editions. Discover the historical dialogue concerning the Creation story and the theology of the heavens in this thoroughly researched volume.

[The Bible and Astronomy] of Dr. Kurtz, now translated, first appeared some fifteen years ago. Having been well received, it has gone through three editions in Germany, of which the last has been much amplified, in many parts re-written. . . . the work is one of a superior order, both in those portions in which the results of astronomical observation are brought down to our own day, and in many of those which grapple with controversial questions.
—The Westminster Review, vol. 68
Dr. Kurtz, theological professor in Dorpat, is a very voluminous, and at the same time a very careful writer. What is still better, he is a thoroughly evangelical right-hearted man, whose reverence for the word of God is as profound as his study of it is exact. . . . His Bible and Astronomy has been very much valued in Germany, as being the best attempt to solve the great questions which science has raised upon the Mosaic account of the Creation.
