Explore the early world and the roots of human history through a classic work of physico-theological thought.
This edition surveys the state of the world from creation to the Flood, blending scripture with natural philosophy. It examines how Adam and Eve’s fall shaped humanity, the length of life after the Fall, and how divine providence interacted with natural events.
- How the Fall affected human nature and divine justice
- Why life spans shortened after the Flood and what that meant for society
- The role of Noah’s covenant and the new order after the Deluge
- The interplay of natural explanation and miraculous belief in early history
Ideal for readers interested in historical theology, biblical interpretation, and the roots of early modern debates about world history.
