How ancient cosmology shaped Jewish and Christian theology. Apart from the scholarly side, there is an obvious polemical dimension here.
If the writers of the Bible didn´t know anything about the real outline of the universe, why should we trust their "divine revelation"? Especially if their theologies were informed by faulty cosmology. Note that the ancient Israelites believed that the Earth was flat!
An esotericist might perhaps disagree here...
