The Gospel in the Stars

Did God arrange the stars in the sky to spell out his ultimate plans for the human race? Such is the conclusion of this curious book first published in 1882 as an attempt to reconcile Christianity with the public fascination with astrology... a fascination that endures today. In this profusely illustrated volume discover the connections between the signs of the Zodiac and Christian symbolism-Leo the lion represents Jesus for instance; the Gemini twins signify both the relationship of Adam and Eve as well as Gods relationship with his church. Building upon this language of the stars the author demonstrates the truth of Gods one plan and purpose of Redemption for fallen man. American Lutheran pastor JOSEPH AUGUST SEISS (1823-1904) was born in Maryland and served congregations in Virginia Maryland and Pennsylvania. In addition to numerous translations of hymns from the original German he also authored numerous books including The Apocalypse.
