Detailed Description
Astronomy is the most ancient science. Throughout
all history, people have told time and found direction from
the Sun,
Moon and stars. This is the purpose for which the LORD created
the
celestial bodies - for signs and seasons, and days and years
(Genesis 1:14).
Signs & Seasons is an evolution-free Christian homeschool
astronomy curriculum that teaches the traditional, Biblical
basis for timekeeping and navigation. Topics include:
- The Phases of the Moon and the Passage of the Seasons;
- Finding the Traditional Constellations and identifying
the Visible Planets;
- How our Calendar is based on the Sun and Moon;
- How
the times of Passover and Easter are derived from their
cycles.
Signs & Seasons is
lavishly illustrated, with images that depict the appearances
of the night sky, to prepare you for what
you can see outside
on any clear night, at home or anywhere you might travel.
Learn astronomy through the quoted words of
Scripture and many authors - ancient, medieval, and modern,
Christian and secular alike - from Aristotle and Cicero,
Augustine and Basil the Great, Martin Luther and John Calvin,
to Shakespeare and Leonardo da Vinci.
Importantly, Signs & Seasons sets the record straight
about supposed “pagan influences” in astronomy, and offers challenging
Biblical and historical explanations that distinguish the
legitimate science of astronomy from the ancient superstition
of astrology.
Signs & Seasons also includes 40 pages of Field Activities.
These activities accompany each chapter to enable the student
of the sky to make systematic observations of the Sun, Moon,
stars, and planets. These field activities will assist in
creating a field journal that enable a high school student to establish
work hours toward high school credit. These activities can
also be used by younger students under parental supervision.
Signs & Seasons also
includes an extensive Glossary, a Biographia of Quoted Authors,
and Astronomical Tables to assist
the reader in finding the constellations and planets. Read Signs & Seasons and
rediscover your forgotten astronomical heritage!
(Recommended ages - 13 and up but usable by all ages. Please read
