Evolution--or the broader topic of origins--has enormous relevance
to how we understand the Christian faith and how we interpret
Scripture. Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent
Design presents the current "state of the conversation" about
origins among evangelicals representing four key positions: Young
Earth Creationism - Ken Ham (Answers in Genesis) Old Earth
(Progressive) Creationism - Hugh Ross (Reasons to Believe)
Evolutionary Creation - Deborah B. Haarsma (BioLogos) Intelligent
Design - Stephen C. Meyer (The Discovery Institute) The
contributors offer their best defense of their position addressing
questions such as: What is your position on origins - understood
broadly to include the physical universe, life, and human beings in
particular? What do you take to be the most persuasive arguments in
defense of your position? How do you demarcate and correlate
evidence about origins from current science and from divine
revelation? What hinges on answering these questions correctly?
This book allows each contributor to not only present the case for
his or her view, but also to critique and respond to the critiques
of the other contributors, allowing you to compare their beliefs in
an open forum setting to see where they overlap and where they
differ.
Arguably the oldest book in the Bible, the book of Job has a
surprising amount to say about some of the newest scientific
discoveries and controversies. Far from a book that is just about
suffering, Job is filled with rich insight into both ancient and
modern questions about
the formation of the world
the difference between animals and humans
cosmology
dinosaurs and the fossil record
how to care for creation
and more
With careful consideration and exegesis, internationally known
astrophysicist and Christian apologist Hugh Ross adds yet another
compelling argument to the case for the veracity of the biblical
commentary on the history of the universe, Earth, life, and
humanity. "Hidden Treasures in the Book of Job" shows that the
Bible is an accurate predictor of scientific discoveries and a
trustworthy source of scientific information, and that both the
book of Scripture and the book of nature are consistent both
internally and externally.
The Latest Scientific Discoveries Point to an Intentional Creator
Most of us remember the basics from science classes about how Earth
came to be the only known planet that sustains complex life. But
what most people don't know is that the more thoroughly researchers
investigate the history of our planet, the more astonishing the
story of our existence becomes. The number and complexity of the
astronomical, geological, chemical, and biological features
recognized as essential to human existence have expanded
explosively within the past decade. An understanding of what is
required to make possible a large human population and advanced
civilizations has raised profound questions about life, our
purpose, and our destiny. Are we really just the result of
innumerable coincidences? Or is there a more reasonable
explanation? This fascinating book helps nonscientists understand
the countless miracles that undergird the exquisitely fine-tuned
planet we call home--as if Someone had us in mind all along.
Sixty-three Saints of the Western Church from the 1st to the 20th
Century
Saints are the men and women who best love Christ and His
Church. They may be kings or queens, statesmen or soldiers,
scholars, visionaries, workmen or beggars. They teach us the real
meaning of human history, and they show us how to live in any walk
of life or set of circumstances.
Included in this anthology are famous saints Francis of Assisi,
Dominic, Joan of Arc, Ignatius of Loyola, Teresa of Avila but also
more obscure ones, such as Raymond Lull and Hugh of Lincoln.
Many of these saints were martyrs, killed in periods of
persecution. Others died trying to bring the knowledge of Christ to
pagan tribes. Yet others built up the Church through their example
and their teaching, but were never called upon to shed their
blood.
Christians are increasingly challenged with evolutionary theories
as the only models for the origins and history of the universe. But
is there any valid scientifically testable alternative?
Now available in trade paper, "More Than a Theory" offers a
comprehensive, testable creation model. This fascinating book
responds to the recent, well-publicized challenges from aggressive
atheists who deny the existence of a Creator. It also reminds the
scientific community of what constitutes good science and supplies
Christians with the scientific information they need to defend
their conviction that the Creator is the God of the Bible.
Complete with appendices that put competing models for creation
and/or evolution to the same kinds of tests, "More Than a Theory
"is a bold and brave work of apologetics that will stir profitable
discussion in both the scientific and the religious realms.
Increasingly astronomers recognize that if the cosmos had not
unfolded exactly as it did, humanity would not, could not, exist.
Yet these researchers--along with countless ordinary folks--resist
belief in the biblical Creator. Why? They say a loving God would
have made a better home for us, one without trouble and tragedy. In
"Why the Universe Is the Way It Is," Hugh Ross draws from his depth
of study in both science and Scripture to explain how the
universe's design fulfills several distinct purposes. He also
reveals God's surpassing love and ultimate purposes for each
individual.
"Why the Universe Is the Way It Is" will interest anyone who
wonders where and how the universe came to be, what or who is
responsible for it, why we are here, or how and when the universe
ends. Far from leaving the reader at this philosophical jumping-off
point, Ross builds toward answering the big question of human
destiny and the specific question of each reader's personal
destiny.
