ALEXANDER GLEASON'S 1893 FLAT EARTH BOOK
Alexander Gleason’s 1893 flat earth book, Is the Bible From Heaven? Is the Earth a Globe?, is a 430-page historical digital PDF edition examining biblical cosmology, astronomy, chronology, geography, scripture, eclipses, horizon observations, navigation, and Gleason’s arguments concerning the shape and motion of the Earth. This restored ADVENTURE iDIAZ edition preserves the character of Gleason’s original second edition while presenting the complete work in a cohesive digital format for readers researching Alexander Gleason, historical flat earth books, biblical cosmology, nineteenth-century astronomy, and the ideas connected with Gleason’s later-known cartographic work.
Originally revised and enlarged in 1893, the book is divided into two major parts. The first develops Gleason’s theological and historical framework through discussions of biblical interpretation, prophecy, creation, geology, astronomy, chronology, eclipses, and what he regarded as the relationship between scripture and observable science. The second shifts directly into his case concerning the physical form of the Earth under the heading “Is the Earth a Globe?” and includes discussions of curvature, water level, the horizon, sunrise and sunset, the Sun’s motion and altitude, Antarctic exploration, Polaris, circumnavigation, longitude, perspective, transits, eclipses, and related observations.
