Book Overview

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.

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.
