Biblical Cosmology and the Doctrine
of the Fall of the World, article
on, by Prof. W. F. Warren, 752;
science has taken away our belief
in many supposed biblical doc-
trines, 752; can she restore this

impossible, 756; contents of Keerl's
work on the History of the Crea-
tion and the Doctrine of Paradise,
757; statement of his theory, 758;

surd, 761; the common scientific
notion alleged to be contrary to the

ment for Keerl's theory from the
statement that the earth was with-
out form and void, 764; from the
phrase "the deep," 764; close
connection of our world with the
fallen angels, 765; Keerl's theory
best explains the facts in question,
768; difficulties of the theory, 769;
one from the creation of the mon-
sters of the primeval world, 769;
the second from the incompatibil-
ity of this theory with the attribu-
tion of all natural evil to the fall
of Adam, 772; Keerl's theory de-
serving of attention, 773; a recon-
ciliation of science and the Bible

scepticism not essential to progress,
288; proved by facts, 288; by a
careful analysis of mental phenom-
ena, 289; the progress of nations

290; the facts adduced in the
work not trustworthy, 292; vari-
ous instances in proof, 292; the
reasoning in the history fallacious,
295; illustrated by the case of

mosphere of opinion, 359; the

sins, 183; the existence of a moral
universe, the holiness of the law,

nal misery not the penalty for a
few specific sins, 184; the punish-
ment corresponds to the sin, 186;

obvious positions of the Bible bear-
ing on the resurrection, 197; the
scripture argument, 199; the po-
sition that the Bible teaches us
that we lose our existence by sin
and regain it through Christ, 199;
the soul capable of existence inde-
pendently of the body, 200; life
and death in the Bible do not
mean mere existence and annihil-
ation, 202; the Bible describes
things as they appear, 203; the
Bible represents sinners as yet in

did not suppose death to mean an-

nihilation, 204; the theory of anni-
hilation denies spiritual death to
be any part of the penalty of the
law, 206; annihilationists rely on
the fact that man was not allowed
to eat of the tree of life lest he
should live forever, 207; in what
sense life is the highest good, 208;

what life and death in regard to the
soul are, 209; the passage "these
shall go away into everlasting pun-
ishment," 213; the construction of
