The easy-to-follow format encourages conversation that respects diverse points of view.The Bible study lessons presented help facilitate group discussion in three areas:What does the Bible say about creation? Study participants who have wondered about creationism and the age of the earth or the age of the universe will find encouragement to explore New Testament passages we well as Old Testament passages that discuss God's work in creating and sustaining the world.What does the Bible say about human origins? The second part of the book deals with issues related to the concept of evolution. Individual lessons consider biblical authority, human relationships, Christian positions on origins, and the context for conversations about biological evolution.What does the Bible say about science? The lessons in this section examine concerns related to looking for science in Scripture, acknowledging the limits of human knowledge, and the ways faith and science relate. The last lesson asks participants to consider how the Bible encourages Christians to explore God's creation as a way of loving God.The book concludes with an extensive, annotated bibliography arranged in topical sections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After spending two years in bed with Lyme disease, Steven Kotler had lost everything: his health, his job, his girl, and, he was beginning to suspect, his mind. Kotler, not a religious man, suddenly found himself drawn to the sport of surfing as if it were the cornerstone of a new faith. Why, he wondered, when there was nothing left to believe in, could he begin to believe in something as unlikely as surfing? What was belief anyway? How did it work in the body, the brain, our culture, and human history? With the help of everyone from rebel surfers to rocket scientists, Kotler undertakes a three-year globetrotting quest. The results are a startling mix of big waves and bigger ideas: a surfer's journey into the biological underpinnings of belief itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Christ is arguably the most famous man who ever lived. His image adorns countless churches, icons, and paintings. He is the subject of millions of statues, sculptures, devotional objects and works of art. Everyone can conjure an image of Jesus: usually as a handsome, white man with flowing locks and pristine linen robes. But what did Jesus really look like? Is our popular image of Jesus overly westernized and untrue to historical reality? This question continues to fascinate. Leading Christian Origins scholar Joan E. Taylor surveys the historical evidence, and the prevalent image of Jesus in art and culture, to suggest an entirely different vision of this most famous of men. He may even have had short hair.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'The True Story of Jesus the Christ', author Thomas Kerrins examines the validity of the Story of Creation. To validate the Old Testament narrative of our history, that Jesus himself exists only because of Mankind's rebellion toward God starting with Adam, Thomas uses as evidence the Flood; the trials and tribulations of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and the clues found beneath the sands of the Middle East. He also looks at the followers of Jesus, to find out who they were and what role they played in the beginning of Christianity. Many experts and theologians are quoted, such as Dr. Juris Zarins, who shows through satellite imagery of Iraq, Iran, and Syria, the existence of fossilized rivers pinpointing the possible existence of Eden. Also quoted is Henry Rawlinson, who discovered the Behistune inscription that provided a tool to read another version of creation from a civilization 800 miles from where the Old Testament version of Genesis was written. Furthermore, archaeological evidence will be presented to validate such events as the Exodus, the Kings of Israel, and the invasions from Babylon and Persia. Understanding Jesus was to know who he was and what was his mission.

Book excerpt: In Did Jesus Exist? historian and Bible expert Bart Ehrman confronts the question, "Did Jesus exist at all?" Ehrman vigorously defends the historical Jesus, identifies the most historically reliable sources for best understanding Jesus’ mission and message, and offers a compelling portrait of the person at the heart of the Christian tradition. Known as a master explainer with deep knowledge of the field, Bart Ehrman methodically demolishes both the scholarly and popular “mythicist” arguments against the existence of Jesus. Marshaling evidence from within the Bible and the wider historical record of the ancient world, Ehrman tackles the key issues that surround the mythologies associated with Jesus and the early Christian movement. In Did Jesus Exist?: The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth, Ehrman establishes the criterion for any genuine historical investigation and provides a robust defense of the methods required to discover the Jesus of history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative book, evolutionist and evangelical Christian Denis O. Lamoureux proposes an approach to origins that moves beyond the "evolution-versus-creation" debate. Arguing for an intimate relationship between the Book of God's Words and the Book of God's Works, he presents evolutionary creation--a position that asserts that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the universe and life through an ordained and sustained evolutionary process. This view of origins affirms intelligent design and the belief that beauty, complexity, and functionality in nature reflect the mind of God. Lamoureux also challenges the popular Christian assumption that the Holy Spirit revealed scientific and historical facts in the opening chapters of the Bible. He contends that Scripture features an ancient understanding of origins that functions as a vessel to deliver inerrant and infallible messages of faith. Lamoureux shares his personal story and his struggle in coming to terms with evolution and Christianity. Like many, he lost his boyhood faith at university in classes on evolutionary biology. After graduation, he experienced a born-again conversion and then embraced belief in a literal six-day creation. Graduate school training at the doctoral level in both theology and biology led him to the conclusion that God created the world through evolution. Lamoureux closes with the two most important issues in the origins controversy--the pastoral and pedagogical implications. How should churches approach this volatile topic? And what should Christians teach their children about origins?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Beginning of the World is an in-depth Bible study of Genesis revealing the scientific proof of Creation. Sadly the unproven theory of evolution is now widely accepted among Christians. Faith in this philosophy subtly, yet assuredly undermines faith in the authority and infallibility of Scripture. In this Bible study resource, Dr. Henry Morris shines a bright light on the synchronicity between the Bible and modern science. If the first eleven chapters of the Bible are considered allegory or myth, how will new and immature Christians relate to the Ten Commandments? Dr. Morris, the founder of the Institute for Creation Research, recognizes the attack on the foundational message of the Bible as Satan’s long war against God. His professional scientific and biblical research is aimed at defeating the lies of evolution and defending the Bible. The New Testament directly quotes or alludes to the Book of Genesis no less than 200 times, with half of these referring to the first 11 chapters of Genesis. Jesus Christ quoted or referred to each of the first 7 chapters of Genesis alone. All of these references show that both Christ and the apostles accepted Genesis not only as fully historical but also as divinely inspired. The Beginning of the World offers careful analysis of following topics and many more revealing their relevance and/or application to our 21st century lives. The fallacies of Evolution The Meaning of Marriage The Giants in the earth The Geological Implications of the Flood The Noahic Covenant The Table of Nations Nimrod and the Tower of Babel If you love the Bible but experience difficulty in defending it against intellectual arguments, you will find this Bible study resource extremely helpful. Perhaps Dr. Morris writes to help you and your church withstand the academic attack and ridicule of the Christian faith by supplying a solid and intelligent knowledge of the complete integrity of Genesis. This book is an excellent study aid for Bible teachers, Bible study groups, and individual study by both scholars and laymen. Discussion questions are offered at the end of each chapter.

Analyze the impact of the unproven theory of evolution Examine Genesis and the scientific proof of Creation Evaluate the true synchronicity between the Bible and science If you have a deep love for the Bible but find it challenging to defend against intellectual arguments, this resource is invaluable. Dr. Morris empowers you and your church to withstand academic attacks and ridicule directed at the Christian faith. This book serves as an excellent guide for Bible teachers, study groups, and individual learners, catering to both scholars and laymen alike. The inclusion of discussion questions at the end of each chapter encourages thoughtful reflection and group engagement. A handy review of Genesis 1-11, The Beginning of the World gives insightful commentary into the stories most often labeled as “myth” by those who want to chip away at the Bible. Morris details amazing evidence that the first 11 chapters of Genesis are literal history that shapes us today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marriage of Science and the Bible is an adventure in new concepts. I invite you to explore them with me. We will investigate God's scientific credentials. We will witness his authority over physical science. We will see how he is applying the logic of science to human history. Our Creator introduced the scientific method. Examining his predictions (hypotheses), we can judge their accuracy across 4,000 years of human history. Evaluate use of science of history. Begin with secrets of the universe revealed long before modern satellites. Inspect a mathematically specific prediction of the coming of Jesus Christ. Does the Creator speak in absolutes? Does absolute truth exist? Consider the complexity of predicting the themes of history and future events. No man can do it. Recognize the unparalleled importance of God's expansion of science. Discover Jesus's description of biblical biology, biblical physics, and biblical chemistry, in God's design for human life. Consider why the availability of the Bible in the languages of Northern Europe resulted in the birth of modern science. Follow the flaw in human philosophy to Darwin's theory. Is it important that astrophysicists are linking the biblical account of creation with twentieth and twenty-first-century scientific discoveries? Personally confirm the science of history by viewing God's hypotheses and current events in Israel. Discover the purpose of human history. It's an adventure in reality!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the historicity of Jesus and whether he is relevant today What can we really know for sure about the past? Can anything be trusted as reliable historical fact? What can we really know for sure about the past? Can anything from ancient history be regarded as €˜fact’? In particular, how seriously can we take the historical sources for the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth? Did he really even live in first-century Galilee and Judaea, or is he a figure of legend? In this timely book, historian Dr John Dickson unpacks how the field of history works, giving readers the tools to evaluate for themselves what we can confidently say about figures like the Emperor Tiberius, Alexander the Great, Pontius Pilate, and, of course, Jesus of Nazareth. He presents the evidence, methods, and conclusions of mainstream scholars-both Christian and not-and asks some pertinent contemporary questions, without offering any pushy answers: If Jesus really did exist, what are we to make of his own claims and those of his followers, and what would any of it mean for us today?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understand where we came from. Whether you're an avid student of the Bible or a skeptic of its relevance, The Book That Made Your World will transform your perception of its influence on virtually every facet of Western civilization. Indian philosopher Vishal Mangalwadi reveals the personal motivation that fueled his own study of the Bible and systematically illustrates how its precepts became the framework for societal structure throughout the last millennium. From politics and science, to academia and technology, the Bible's sacred copy became the key that unlocked the Western mind. Through Mangalwadi's wide-ranging and fascinating investigation, you'll discover: What triggered the West's passion for scientific, medical, and technological advancement How the biblical notion of human dignity informs the West's social structure and how it intersects with other worldviews How the Bible created a fertile ground for women to find social and economic empowerment How the Bible has uniquely equipped the West to cultivate compassion, human rights, prosperity, and strong families The role of the Bible in the transformation of education How the modern literary notion of a hero has been shaped by the Bible's archetypal protagonist Journey with Mangalwadi as he examines the origins of a civilization's greatness and the misguided beliefs that threaten to unravel its progress. Learn how the Bible transformed the social, political, and religious institutions that have sustained Western culture for the past millennium, and discover how secular corruption endangers the stability and longevity of Western civilization. Endorsements: “This is an extremely significant piece of work with huge global implications. Vishal brings a timely message.” (Ravi Zacharias, author, Walking from East to West and Beyond Opinion) “In polite society, the mere mention of the Bible often introduces a certain measure of anxiety. A serious discussion on the Bible can bring outright contempt. Therefore, it is most refreshing to encounter this engaging and informed assessment of the Bible’s profound impact on the modern world. Where Bloom laments the closing of the American mind, Mangalwadi brings a refreshing optimism.” (Stanley Mattson, founder and president, C. S. Lewis Foundation) “Vishal Mangalwadi recounts history in very broad strokes, always using his cross-cultural perspectives for highlighting the many benefits of biblical principles in shaping civilization.” (George Marsden, professor, University of Notre Dame; author, Fundamentalism and American Culture)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a statement often made in the pulpit and elsewhere that the Bible is not, and was never intended to be, a manual of scientific instruction. In this volume of lectures delivered before Vanderbilt University in 1906, Professor Smith sets out to prove that the opposite is the case, or at least that in the Bible are to be found revelations of scientific truths, some of which are only just beginning to be recognized. His position is that the Universe and the Bible being equally of divine origin, there can be no contradiction between them, and that each may be reasonably expected to shed light upon the other. In support of this idea he finds in the Old Testament revelations of the three great scientific generalizations—the Conservation of Matter, the Conservation of Energy, and the Continuity of Life—and maintains that the Christian ideals of the New Testament, viz., humility, simplicity, love of truth, and faith, are identical with the ideals which science holds up to her votaries. The biblical account of Creation is, he believes, coming, and will yet come more and more to be recognized as in harmony with the teachings of science. "If this be so, this Scripture is living truth to us, filled with a wisdom which was four thousand years in advance of the time when it was written." Again, in Phil. ii. 12, 13, he finds contained "by direct expression and by implication the four fundamental laws of energy—the very vitals of modern physics." "How wonderful that the most precious truths of recent science should be found concealed in a sentence written more than eighteen hundred years ago." Even if it were all true, one fails to see what good would be done by revelations which can only be recognized as such when the truths they are supposed to reveal have been discovered by other means. There is an interesting lecture on "Christ's Love of Nature," and another on "Christ the Model for the Teacher of Science," in which the author pleads that we should "reverently study the Master's college methods." It may perhaps be worthwhile to point out to the author that it is not usual to speak of the Holy Spirit as the Second Person of the Trinity. The book does not follow conventional lines, and is well worth reading, even if we disagree with much that it contains. —Review of Theology & Philosophy, Volume 3 [1908]

Historical corroborations of details from all parts of the New Testament are also presented throughout. The Historical Reliability of the New Testament marshals the latest scholarship in responding to New Testament objections, while remaining accessible to non-specialists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does science enhance faith? Is God relevant in an age of science? Science and Faith: Student Questions Explored investigates the relationship between science and Christianity in a series of thoughtful and accessible articles written by experts. Chosen from InterVarsitys Emerging Scholars Network blog, each chapter addresses common faith- and science-related questions. In part one, Science and Faith delves into why Christians should pursue scientific discovery, as well as the Bibles viewpoint on scientific method and inquiry. Part two begins the conversation on the direct relevance of science to faith and how Christian scientists can talk to their colleagues about their faith, while part three discusses how conversations about science can take place between Christians. Finally, part four explores the history of science and the church and the question How can the history of science encourage the church? While ideal for graduate students who are exploring their faith and their chosen scientific fields, this book can also be used in church settings or as a personal resource. The book provides questions to launch small group conversation about faith/science, whether youre a science PhD, a ministry leader, or an interested layperson. Since each reading is based on questions from real students, it may also be a resource for Christian faculty teaching the sciences. Contributors include Ruth Bancewicz, Gerald Rau, Greg Cootsona, Andy Walsh, and more.
