Quote for the day
“The scriptures were never intended to instruct us in philosophy, or astronomy, and therefore, on these subjects, expressions are not always to be taken in the literal sense.”—John Wesley
I found it in Ken Collins The Theology of John Wesley, page 43. He says it is from John Wesley, A Survey of the Wisdom of God in the Creation: A Compendium of Natural Philosophy, volume 2, section 139.
Could yoiu give us a reference on the quote? Thanks!
