“…the Bible turns to a geocentric emphasis, and it maintains that geocentric emphasis throughout to its last page. This is not to say that the Bible now entertains an incorrect view of the relationship of the heavenly bodies, positing the earth as the physical center of the universe…It is merely that attention is focused upon this world on which we live, upon which we sinned, and upon which Christ died for our salvation. If the Bible is truly a practical book, it is difficult to understand how its emphasis could be otherwise.”
