Publisher's Synopsis
An Essay Towards A Vindication Of The Vulgar Exposition Of The Mosaic History Of The Creation Of The World: In Several Letters is a book written by John Witty and published in 1705. The book is a defense of the traditional interpretation of the biblical account of creation, as opposed to the more modern scientific explanations that were beginning to emerge at the time. Witty argues that the biblical story of creation should be taken literally, and that any attempts to interpret it allegorically or metaphorically are misguided. The book is written in the form of a series of letters, in which Witty responds to various objections and criticisms of his position. Overall, An Essay Towards A Vindication Of The Vulgar Exposition Of The Mosaic History Of The Creation Of The World is an important work in the history of biblical interpretation, and sheds light on the debates and controversies that surrounded the interpretation of the Bible in the early modern period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
