The Anonymous Hypothesis of Creation: A Brief Review of the So-Called Mosaic Account is a book written by James J. Furniss and originally published in 1877. The book provides a critical analysis of the biblical account of creation as described in the book of Genesis, commonly known as the Mosaic account. Furniss argues that the Mosaic account is not a literal description of the creation of the universe, but rather a symbolic or allegorical representation of the relationship between God and humanity. He suggests that the anonymous author of the Mosaic account was not Moses, as traditionally believed, but rather an unknown writer who used the story of creation to convey moral and spiritual truths.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of the Mosaic account. Furniss discusses the biblical text in detail, analyzing its language, structure, and historical context. He also compares the Mosaic account to other creation myths from around the world, highlighting similarities and differences.Throughout the book, Furniss emphasizes the importance of interpreting the Mosaic account in a way that is consistent with modern scientific knowledge. He argues that a literal interpretation of the text is incompatible with the findings of geology, astronomy, and other scientific fields.Overall, The Anonymous Hypothesis of Creation is a thought-provoking work that challenges traditional interpretations of the biblical account of creation. It remains relevant today as a contribution to the ongoing dialogue between science and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
