Faith Moves Mountains
Über dieses E-Book
It investigates how the biblical metaphor of ""moving mountains"" reflects an ancient awareness of the earth's dynamic geological forces, specifically tectonic shifts.
The book uniquely interprets biblical texts through a geological lens, providing a novel scientific approach to understanding religious symbolism.
The study presents evidence from detailed analyses of biblical texts and geological data on Middle Eastern tectonic activity.
By cross-referencing mentions of mountains and earth-shaking events in the Bible with tectonic plate data, the book argues this metaphor isn't just spiritual symbolism but an expression of human understanding of powerful geological transformations.
The book progresses by introducing core concepts of biblical metaphor and tectonic theory, then develops themes including the geological context of biblical lands and the impact of natural events on ancient spiritual lives.
This approach offers a fresh perspective, challenging conventional interpretations and enriching our comprehension of the interplay between nature, culture, and belief.
It's valuable for those seeking a deeper understanding of the symbolic language of the Bible and the relationship between religious beliefs and the natural world, potentially informing contemporary discussions about environmental stewardship and the interpretation of sacred spaces.
