Robert Taylor, The Devil's Pulpit and Astronomical Lectures
The work of 19th-century minister Robert Taylor is highlighted, specifically his books The Devil's Pulpit and Astro-Theological Lectures. Taylor was defrocked and imprisoned for teaching that the Bible was based entirely on constellations. While Mathison admires Taylor's systematic approach, he notes a disagreement regarding the spiritual advancement of ancient ancestors, whom Taylor viewed more primitively.
