The Waters Above the Firmament

An Exemplary Case of Faith-Reason Conflict

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the historical interpretations of a specific biblical passage about the "waters above the firmament" from Genesis, which has not sparked a faith-science conflict despite its counterintuitive nature. It examines how exegetes from various religious orders analyzed this passage from early Christianity to the Renaissance, revealing the underlying cosmogonic model. The lack of debate in lay culture contributed to the absence of conflict, making this analysis both enlightening and accessible for a wide audience interested in the interplay of faith and reason.
