Terra Firma: the Earth Not a Planet, Proved from Scripture, Reason, and Fact

This unusual early work on 'Flat Earth Theory' was originally published in 1901. It comprises a comprehensive series of essays which use scripture, reason and fact to (attempt to) prove that the earth is not a planet. The text makes for an entertaining and informative read, providing a wonderful insight into the philosophy of a bygone age. Its chapters include discussions of: The Adamic Creation, The Nebular Hypothesis: Examination of three Alleged Proofs of the World€s Globarity, The Horizontality of Land and Water Proved, The Sun, according to the Scriptures, The Deluge-Biblical Account, The Great Deep a Proof that the Earth is not a Planet... and much, much more! Many old works such as this are increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that this book is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the subject.
