Astro-Theology Or The Religion Of Astronomy: Four Lectures is a book written by Edward Higginson and published in 1855. The book is a collection of four lectures that explore the relationship between astronomy and religion. Higginson argues that the study of astronomy can provide insight into the nature of God and the universe. In the first lecture, Higginson discusses the history of astronomy and how it has been used to understand the cosmos. He also explores the role of astrology in ancient religions and how it influenced the development of astronomy. The second lecture focuses on the scientific principles of astronomy, including the laws of motion and the nature of light. Higginson explains how these principles can be used to understand the universe and the workings of the stars and planets. In the third lecture, Higginson discusses the religious implications of astronomy. He argues that the study of the cosmos can provide a deeper understanding of God and the nature of the universe. Finally, in the fourth lecture, Higginson explores the practical applications of astronomy, including its use in navigation and timekeeping. He also discusses the importance of astronomy in modern society and its potential for future discoveries. Overall, Astro-Theology Or The Religion Of Astronomy: Four Lectures is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between science and religion. Higginson's insights and arguments provide a unique perspective on the nature of the universe and our place in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
