The Creation And Deluge, According To A New Theory - Samuel Webb - Bog

""The Creation and Deluge, According to a New Theory"" is a book written by Samuel Webb that aims to provide a new perspective on the biblical account of the creation of the world and the story of the great flood. The author presents a theory that he believes will confirm the biblical account while at the same time removing many of the difficulties that have been suggested by skeptical philosophers.Webb's theory proposes that the creation of the world was not a sudden event, but rather a gradual process that took place over a long period of time. He argues that the six days of creation described in the Bible are not meant to be taken literally, but rather symbolically. According to his theory, the first five days of creation represent the successive stages of development of the earth, while the sixth day represents the creation of man.In regards to the story of the great flood, Webb suggests that it was not a global event, but rather a regional one. He argues that the flood was caused by a natural disaster, such as a massive earthquake or a volcanic eruption, that caused a large body of water to overflow and inundate a particular region. He believes that this event was recorded in the Bible and passed down through oral tradition, eventually becoming the story of the great flood that we know today.Overall, ""The Creation and Deluge, According to a New Theory"" is a thought-provoking book that offers a fresh perspective on two of the most well-known stories in the Bible. Webb's theories may not be universally accepted, but they are certainly worth considering for anyone interested in biblical studies or the history of religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
