Product Description
by John T. James (Author)
Science and Religion should never in be in conflict as Dr. James, a Ph.D. scientist and Christian mystic carefully demonstrates. He employs many personal experiences in the science realm and in the Christian realm to show how the two are wonderfully complementary - as long as each remains in their respective places. Science is of the natural world, and as Jesus declared, his kingdom is not of the world - it is a kingdom defined by Holy Spirit, which he left for us in his absence. The author uses many biblical passages to show that the core message of Christianity is to live a life of love for others, despite the personal crosses life may hand you. This he calls 'Response Theology.' He provides deeper insight into what 'love' means for Christians. In Greek the world for love in the New Testament is agape - unconditional, selfless, sacrificial, and in-action love. He takes the reader through a critical and well-reasoned tour of areas in Christianity that need rethinking. Is the Bible inerrant? How can reason be applied to biblical interpretation? Is God really omnipotent? Did God specifically create you? Is God good all the time? How does Holy Spirit enter your heart? How may we commit our lives to doing God's will? What are the implications of believing that God is Agape Love as the apostle John wrote? These are important areas of Christianity that require attention in a world filled with counterfeit Christianity.
