The Philosophy of Earthquakes, Natural and Religious

Written by William Stukeley, one of the forefathers of archaeology, this book provides an interesting look at the nature of earthquakes from the perspective of science and Christianity. Stukeley, who is also an Anglican clergyman, argues that both point-of-views complete one another in understanding the world, or as he puts it: «From speculation of material causes, we may become adepts in that wisdom which is from above.»
