The Expanse of Heaven: Where Creation & Astronomy Intersect (Faulkner)
Intended as a companion book to The Created Cosmos: What the Bible Reveals About Astronomy, the new book, The Expanse of Heaven: Where Creation and Astronomy Intersect, is a comprehensive treatment of astronomy, interpreted within the biblical model of creation. It begins with a chapter on ancient cosmologies, and concludes with a chapter on modern cosmology. In between are chapters on the appearance of astronomical bodies in the sky, discussions of the moon, the earth and other planets in the solar system, the sun, the stars, our Milky Way Galaxy and other galaxies. Evolutionary theories are described and critiqued, while creationary theories are explained. Evidence for design and recent origin is presented. This unique book is intended for general reading by lay audiences, but it can be adapted as a textbook on astronomy.
The field of astronomy is overwhelming to many of us. Our minds may “glaze over” when we consider light-year distances, vast spiral galaxies, and stars as numerous as the sand grains on all the seashores of the world. Author Danny Faulkner has a special ability for giving clear explanations of such details in his teaching and writing.
