1895 Modern Science In Bible Lands by John Dawson Antique History Book Palestine

Modern Science In Bible Lands / by Sir J. W. Dawson. With maps and illustrations
By John William Dawson (1820-1899)
Published by Hodder & Stoughton: London 1895 3rd Edition

"Sir John William Dawson's Modern Science in Bible Lands offers a late-19th-century examination of how archaeological discoveries, geological research, and emerging scientific theories align with—or challenge—traditional biblical narratives. Written by one of Canada's most respected geologists and natural historians, the book surveys the landscapes of the Near East, exploring how scientific investigation illuminates ancient cultures, the origins of religious traditions, and the historical settings of Scripture. The 1895 third edition from Hodder & Stoughton includes detailed maps and illustrations, providing readers with visual reference points for Dawson's discussions of topography, climate, antiquities, and early human civilisation.

Balancing scientific inquiry with a sympathetic reading of biblical history, Dawson argues for harmony between empirical evidence and faith-based interpretation, a theme characteristic of Victorian-era apologetic scholarship. His work serves both as a travel-informed study of the Holy Land and as a reflection on the relationship between science and religion at a time of rapid intellectual change. This edition will appeal to collectors of Victorian scientific literature, students of biblical archaeology, and readers interested in 19th-century explorations of the ancient Near East."
