TOP READING BOOKS
”As you read a book word by word and page by page, you participate in its creation, just as a cellist playing a Bach suite participates, note by note in the creation, the coming-to-be, the existence of the music. And as you read and re-read the book of course participates in the creation of you, your thoughts and feelings

AlmagestItem Link
A comprehensive mathematical treatise that defines the geocentric model in detail, explaining planetary motion using epicycles and deferents.
Claudius Ptolemy
-
Astronomia NovaItem Link
A foundational scientific work laying out Kepler’s laws—especially the first two—and introducing the idea of planets moving along ellipses, not circles. Very important for understanding actual planetary speeds and motion.
Johannes Kepler
-
Epitome Astronomiae CopernicanaeItem Link
A more synthetic/organized presentation of Copernican heliocentric astronomy, including mathematical foundations and models of planetary distances, orbits, etc
Johannes Kepler
-
From Geocentric to Heliocentric: How Discoveries Are MadeItem Link
A modern study of how scientific discoveries evolve, tracing the paradigm shift from Earth-centered cosmology to the Sun-centered model as a template for intellectual and spiritual progress.
Jacques Paul
-
Galileo Was Wrong: The Church Was RightItem Link
A controversial and detailed exposition of the geocentric model supported by theological arguments and reinterpretations of classical physics, challenging the mainstream heliocentric consensus.
Robert Sungenis & Robert Bennett
-
Harmonices MundiItem Link
A synthesis of geometry, music, and cosmology demonstrating that planetary motions follow divine harmonic ratios, merging scientific discovery with esoteric philosophy.
Johannes Kepler
-
Practical Astronomy with Your Calculator or SpreadsheetItem Link
A modern guide to computing celestial positions, orbits, and rise/set times from both heliocentric and geocentric perspectives.
Peter Duffett-Smith
-
Spherical AstronomyItem Link
A mathematical treatment of the spherical coordinate system, timekeeping, and positional astronomy for both geocentric and topocentric calculations.
W.M. Smart
-
The AlmagestItem Link
A cornerstone of ancient astronomy, it lays out the full mathematical framework of the geocentric model, including epicycles, deferents, and planetary tables.
Claudius Ptolemy
-
The Copernican RevolutionItem Link
A historical and philosophical view of how the heliocentric model displaced the Ptolemaic geocentric model.
Thomas S. Kuhn
-
The Earth Is Not MovingItem Link
An alternative cosmological work defending the geocentric worldview through philosophical, observational, and scriptural reasoning, presenting Earth as the stable center of the cosmos.
Marshall Hall
-
The Foundations of Celestial MechanicsItem Link
Explains the equations of motion governing celestial bodies under both geocentric and heliocentric assumptions, unifying classical and modern physics.
Heinrich T. Buchholz
-
The Reception of Copernicus Heliocentric TheoryItem Link
A scholarly history of how heliocentric ideas were adopted, resisted, and transformed — good for context in astrological studies.
Jerzy Dobrzycki (or Jerzy Do)
-
The Sleepwalkers: A History of Mans Changing Vision of the UniverseItem Link
Traces humanity’s evolving cosmological views, with deep insight into how the geocentric model dominated and eventually gave way to heliocentrism.
Arthur Koestler
