About this title

Synopsis

The Scripture Doctrine of Creation: With Reference to Religious Nihilism and Modern Theories of Development is a book written by Thomas Rawson Birks in 1872. The book explores the biblical understanding of creation and its relevance to contemporary debates about nihilism and theories of development. Birks argues that the biblical account of creation provides a foundation for understanding the purpose and meaning of human existence, and that modern theories of development fail to account for the spiritual dimension of human life. The book is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the relationship between religion and science, and remains relevant to contemporary discussions about the nature of reality and the meaning of life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Book Description

A controversial figure in the Victorian church, T. R. Birks, professor of philosophy at Cambridge, was a vocal and influential anti-Darwinian. He argued that though modern science confirmed the glory of God, the theory of evolution could not explain the mystery of creation, to which scripture held the key.
