IndexAdditional Info
Is a thoroughly Christian and biblically informed doctrine of creation compatible with widely held conclusions of modern science, especially biology? For Darrel R. Falk, this is not just an abstract question but one with which he has personally wrestled. A professor of biology, Falk brings together his biblically based understanding of creation and the most current research in biology. The result of his efforts to acknowledge the validity of science and the authority of Scripture is a new paradigm for relating the claims of science to the truths of Christianity. Written with the undergraduate student in mind, this book nonetheless will help anyone who is looking for a place to stand in the creation-evolution debate, fearful that they’ll have to choose between intellectual integrity and the faith of the church. Calling for charitable discussions within the church, Falk shows how an original and ongoing interaction of God with creation is fully reconcilable with the kinds of development identified by current biological science.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

From Cells To Souls And Beyond Print On Demand Title
$33.99Print On Demand Title
For more than a decade developments in science have prompted wide-ranging discussions about human nature. Gone are the days when this subject was the preserve of theologians and philosophers; today the fields of genetics and neuroscience are shifting attention to the biological basis of human nature. This engaging book takes readers straight to the intersection of religion and science, exploring what new scientific knowledge does and does not say about religious views on personhood.
Written by an international, interdisciplinary team of scholars sponsored by the John Templeton Foundation, From Cells to Souls – and Beyond examines such questions as personal identity, the meaning of “human,” the mind-body relationship, and subjective spiritual experience. Each topic is discussed against the backdrop of biblical theology with the relevant science made clear. The result is a fresh interpretation of the Christian doctrine of humankind true to both science and Scripture.

Sacred Longings : The Ecological Spirit And Global Culture
$33.33What do we really want? Internationally noted theologian Mary Grey believes we have gotten out of touch with our deepest desires. Trapped by the seductions of the marketplace, addicted to more and more, our culture has acquiesced in global capitalism’s most problematic characteristics, including widespread poverty and global maldistribution of resources. Grey’s hopeful book argues that there is a deeper language of desire that plumbs to what humanity really wants. Emergent in story and myth and symbol, these sacred longings can be seen in the simple yet profound elements–within and beyond Christianity–or water, light, and sacred space. Getting back in touch with our sacred longings entails a spiritual quest–a kind of ecomystical renewal–that can transform our desire, enliven our communities, simplify our lifestyles, and ultimately rekindle our global prospects.

Evolution From Creation To New Creation
$24.99Today’s seminary students often come to their graduate work with little or no knowledge of science or theology; yet they most certainly have opinions about evolution, as will their future congregants. How can such students plunge into the whirlpool of controversy that surrounds the heated debates between science and theology? How can they negotiate the often ideological waters of Darwinism, NeoDarwinism, Social Darwinism, Sociobiology, Youth Earth Creationism, Intelligent Design, and Theistic Evolution? Here the authors answer these questions, offer a bridge for understanding the inner coherence and passion of each stream of thought, and lead to a constructive proposal: evolution in natural history is part of God’s method for carrying the creation from its origin to its consummation in the eschatological new creation.

Perspectives On An Evolving Creation
$49.99512 Pages
Additional Info
According to the authors of this book, who explore evolutionary theory from a clear Christian perspective, the common view of conflict between evolutionary theory and Christian faith is mistaken.Written by contributors representing the natural sciences, philosophy, theology, and the history of science, this thought-provoking work is informed by both solid scientific knowledge and keen theological insight. The three sections of the book address (1) relevant biblical, historical, and scientific background, (2) the scientific evidence for an evolving creation, and (3) theological issues commonly raised in connection with evolution, including the nature of God’s creative activity, the meaning of the miraculous, and the uniqueness of humankind. Woven through the volume are short meditations designed to direct readers toward worshiping the God of providence.

Science And Faith
$32.00Many believers worry that science undermines the Christian faith. Instead of fearing scientific discovery, Jack Collins believes that Christians should delight in the natural world and study it. God’s truth will stand against and challenge and will enrich the very scientific studies that we fear. Collins first defines faith and science, shows their relation, and explains what claims each has concerning truth. Then he applies the biblical teaching on creation to the topics of “conflict” between faith and science, including the age of the earth, evolution, and miracles. He considers what it means to live in a created world. This book is for anyone looking for a Christian engagement with science without technical jargon.

God In The Equation
$18.99He wanted to know where our world comes from and where it was going.
He wanted to understand how the remote stillness of the heavens relates to the erratic, ever-changing events here on earth.
Above all, he wanted to know if the answers to these questions would bring him closer to a higher authority.
So Einstein put God in the Equation
“Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science,” Albert Einstein once said, “becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe — a spirit vastly superior to that of man.” This mysterious component, which Einstein called a “cosmological constant,” would eventually work its way into his world-shattering theory of relativity. In this way, explains acclaimed science writer Corey S. Powell, Einstein was creating a formula for a new kind of “sci/religion,” one in which God was a factor, denoted by the Greek letter Lambda, and one that would pave the way for an entirely new gnostic era in the history of human spirituality.

Science And The Study Of God
$25.50Religion and science today are often seen as enemies battling for human hearts and minds. In this new book Alan Padgett takes a postmodern turn, arguing that they can and should work together collegially, developing a worldview that is at once spiritually meaningful and scientifically sound.
Pursuing a perspective that he calls the “mutuality model,” Padgett highlights the contributions that both religion and science make to a full understanding of the world and our place in it. He argues convincingly that the natural sciences and theology, even though they have their own domain as disciplines, can rationally influence each other without giving up their distinctive methods.
The book explores the nature of informal reason and worldviews, the character of theology as a spiritual and academic discipline, and the question of what counts as natural science. Along the way, Padgett discusses such topics as thermodynamics, time, resurrection, and the historical Jesus to illustrate his powerful mutuality model.

Actual Proof Of My Existence Signed
$33.73The Actual Proof of My Existence Signed: God of the Bible is a book
showing the proof of God’s existence through undeniable but simple
number patterns in the Bible. Reading the historical and scientifically
correct Psalms will be enough to convince anyone that the Bible is the
inspired Word of God.
More than eighteen Psalms contain information about specific past
events from history (1900 to 2003). In each case, the Psalm number is the
year of the event; even the years of future events (2003 to 2050) are
explored. More than twenty-three Psalms contain scientific “key words”
with power numbers matching the numbers of the Psalms. One example
is Psalm 27:1: “The Lord is my light”; 1027 power is a photon of light in
science. The mathematical odds of these matching Psalms are greater than
1038 power (38 zeroes) to 1 that this would happen by random accident
or chance.
The Ark of the Covenant is explored and found to have numbers
matching anti-gravity from the chemical element table. The Tabernacle
of Moses can be proven to be a model of the universe and space-time
dimensions, equaling science numbers just recently discovered. The
book examines about six hundred key Scriptures showing that the verse
numbers equal either the scientific or biblical content of the verses. Many
more subjects are numerically explored in the Bible. The book guarantees
to show in a simple way using “pattern and number matching” that the
Bible is the inspired Word of God beyond any shadow of a doubt!Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Source : Creation Eternal Design Or Infinite Accident
$19.95(When placing your order, please mention that this is a Lightining Source book.)
A number of years ago, John Clayton, a second-generation atheist and respected scientist and teacher, set out to disprove the Bible from a scientific point of view. Instead, his six-year study brought him to a profound faith in the God of the Bible.
Now, in this highly informative and easy to understand book, John Clayton and Nils Jansma – a geotechnical engineer and geologist – present convincing evidence that the Bible and the facts of science agree. As the public moves away from a belief in God as Creator of our heaven and earth, it becomes imperative that all believers be well informed on this vital subject. This book will become a resource you will use again and again.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Resurrection : Theological And Scientific Assessments
$38.99In this volume first-rate scientists and theologians from both sides of the Atlantic explore the Christian concept of bodily resurrection in light of the views of contemporary science.
Whether it be the Easter resurrection of Jesus or the promised new life of individual believers, the authors argue that resurrection must be conceived as “embodied” and that our bodies cannot exist apart from their worldly environment. Yet nothing in today’s scientific disciplines supports the possibility of either bodily resurrection or the new creation of the universe at large. Cosmology, for example, only forecasts an end to the universe. If persons and the cosmos are to rise up anew in the eschaton, such an event will have to be a willful act of God. Thus, while modern science can offer aid in constructing models for picturing what “resurrection of the body” could mean, the warrant for this belief must come from distinctly theological resources such as divine revelation. Christian faith ultimately gains its strength not from modern science but from God’s promises.
Bridging such disciplines as physics, biology, neuroscience, philosophy, biblical studies, and theology, Resurrection offers fascinating reading to anyone interested in this vital Christian belief or in the intersection of faith and scientific thought.

Nature Human Nature And God
$30.00In his latest work, the dean of religion and science tackles some of the thorniest issues posed by contemporary thought. Thoroughly conversant with current developments, Barbour offers astute analyses of the shape and import of evolutionary theory, indeterminacy, neuroscience, information theory, and artificial intelligence. He also addresses deeper philosophical issues and the idea of nature itself. Then with characteristic clarity and verve, Barbour advances to the interconnected religious questions at the core of contemporary debate: Are humans free? Does religion itself evolve? Are we immortal? Is God omnipotent? How does God act in nature? Barbour’s creative and constructive work offers hope that newer religious insights and imperatives occasioned by deep interaction with science can address the environmental and global challenges posed by science’s relentless advance.

In Our Image
$40.00In Our Image is the first extensive theological engagement with the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Herzfeld probes this new field, which seeks to model human intelligence in computers, for its theological depth. She argues that “At the root of the fascination our current culture has with creating an image of ourselves in an intelligent computer lies a continuing problematic of defining … what it means to be truly human.” She shows how AI continues the classic Christian quest for defining the image of God in humans. Offering a smart, accessible history and typology of research in AI, Herzfeld shows how its rival schools parallel competing options in the theological anthropologies of Niebuhr, von Rad, and Barth. She probes our interest in AI and argues that a relational anthropology informs the best research and the many depictions of AI in science fiction and film. Herzfeld’s exciting work further develops this relational model, in which she finds a needed corrective to the individualistic and narcissistic tendencies of much recent spirituality and the seeds of a human/computer ethic.

Science Declares Our Universe Is Intelligently Designed
$21.23Using a simplified approach and a casual conversation style, this book explains how the science of mathematical modeling establishes that the behavior of all physical systems, from the smallest biological and subatomic particle to the most massive configurations within out universe, are designed, produced, sustained or guided by a higher intelligence.
You will learn how this higher intelligence can be identified with the Creator as He is described throughout the Bible. It is also shown that such a “higher intelligence” has other interpretations and how to determine which interpretation is the most likely.
No actual mathematical analysis appears in this book. Only the conclusions for modeling are discussed.

Karl Barths Anthropology In Light Of Modern Thought
$38.99This compelling book explores Karl Barth’s view of human beings, finding in the thought of this monumental Christian thinker new possibilities for dialogue between religion and modern science. Covering all of Barth’s writings, Daniel Price clearly pieces together Barth’s anthropology, showing that Barth’s view of persons is built on his understanding of the Trinity. Rather than stressing bodily and soulish substances or innately endowed faculties, Barth emphasized that people are composed of vital relations–to God, to self, and to others. With Barth’s theology firmly in hand, Price builds a case for the position that Barth’s dynamic anthropology bears certain intriguing analogies to modern object relations psychology. These analogies show that instead of seeing Barth’s theology as alien to scientific perspectives, his work actually opens up the possibility of increased dialogue between Christian thought and branches of the human sciences. Of value to anyone interested in Barth or the intersection of religion and science, this unique book will renew discussion of the twentieth century’s most influential Christian thinker.

And God Created Darwin
$20.61To many people, Charles Darwin isGod. Because of Darwin, many believe mankind was once primate, and that all living creatures evolved from a single organism. Darwin’s theory of evolution is accepted as the truth, not as a mere premise or hypothesis. Duane Schmidt believes otherwise. Schmidt believes Darwin-not God- is dead. In clear and simple terms, he gives a compelling expose on Darwin’s theory of evolution, a theory he calls one of history’s most subversive scientific lies. Duane Schmidt has a knack for explaining important things without losing the common touch. Many people will benefit from his personable yet learned way of explaining what is wrong with Darwinian evolution. -Phillip Johnson, author, Darwin On Trial and The Wedge of Truth Dr. Schmidt has the extraordinary ability to expose the faulty logic of evolution in concise and clear English…His ability to see the inconsistencies is uncanny. -Robert Kohl, Professor of Geology, South Dakota State University Succinct,logical, and systematic…an eye-opener for those who think evolutional theory can felicitously coexist with true science and belief in the God who purposed it. -Julie Hamel, home-school parent, Cedarburg, Wisconsin I’ve read hundreds of books on both sides…Dr. Schmidt does a good job simplifying the complex.

Wrestling With The Divine
$33.33In this important and enlightening book, Christopher Knight advances the work of John Polkinghorne and Arthur Peacocke and explores exciting new possibilities for the notion of revelation. Knight shows how natural processes are the form of divine immanence and the locus of divine action. He probes the psychology of religious experience as a medium of divine revelation. Employing the paradigmatic instance of revelation–the early Christian experience of the risen Jesus–to investigate the psychological basis of revelatory experience, Knight goes on to address its referentiality, authentication, implications for propositional truth, and historical models of revelation. Knight’s affirmation of the sacramental and revelatory potential of creation yields a new understanding of natural theology and opens up to other faiths of the world.

It expldes the “Framework Hypothesis,” so dear to the hearts of many respectability-hungry Calvinists, and it throws down the gauntlet to all who believe they can maintain a consistent view of Biblical infallibility while abandoning literal, six-day creation. It is a must reading for all who are observing closely the gradual defection of many allegedly conservative churches and denominations, or who simply want a greater grasp of an orthodox, God-honoring view of the Bible.

Life Abundant : Rethinking Theology And Economy For A Planet In Peril

3. The Matter Of Theology
4. The Contemporary Economic Model And Worldview
5. The Ecological Economic Model And Worldview
6. God And The World
7. Christ And Salvation
8. Life In The SpiritAdditional Info
In this splendidly crafted work, McFague argues for theology as an ethical imperative for all thinking Christians: Responsible discipleship today entails disciplined religious reflection. Moreover, theology matters: Without serious reflection on their worldview, ultimate commitments, and lifestyle, North American Christians cannot hope to contribute to ensuring the “good life” for people or the planet. To live differently we must think differently.McFague has therefore written this primer in theology. It helps Christians assess their own religious story in light of the larger Christian tradition and the felt needs of the planet. At once an apology for an ecologically driven theology and a model for how theology itself might be expressed, her work is expressly crafted to bring people into the practice of religious reflection as a form of responsible Christian practice in the world. McFague shows the reader how articulating one’s personal religious story and credo can lead directly into contextual analysis, unfolding of theological concepts, and forms of Christian practice.
In lucid prose she offers creative discussions of revelation, the reigning economic worldview (and its ecological alternative), and how a planetary theology might approach classical areas of God and the world, Christ and salvation, and life in the Spirit. Enticing readers into serious self-assessment and creative commitment, McFague’s new work encourages and models a theological practice that “gives glory to God by loving the world.”

Nature Reborn : The Ecological And Cosmic Promise Of Christian Theology
$28.33Santmire’s much-acclaimed Travail of Nature documented the unfortunate legacy of many Christian theological notions in the use, abuse and destruction of the natural world, along with its positive aspects. His new work returns to the fray, this time to reclaim classic, mostly premodern Christian themes and reenvision them in light of the global environmental and cultural crisis. This revisionist work – “To revise the classical Christian story in order to identify and to celebrate its ecological and cosmic promise”- mines Christian cosmology, Christology, Creation, Eucharist, so that the Christian “story” can be then rediscovered (history), reshaped (theology), reexperienced (spirituality), and reenacted (ritual).

Science And Its Limits (Revised)
$20.99Science, especially naturalistic science, has come under fire of late. No longer does it command the near univeratl respect it once held. From the right has come a fresh attack on Darwinism and arguments for intellegent design. From the left postmodern theorists have attacked the very notion of objective truth claims scientific or otherwise. Into the fray Del Ratzsch breaths a breath of calm. He asks, “What is science? What can it tell? What can’t it tell us? What challenges does it offer to the Christian faith? How should a Christian respond?” Originally published under the title Philosophy of Science, the revised volume surveys how views of science have developed and changed over time, especially since the Kuhnian revolution of the 1960’s. Now updated to reflect current discussions of intellegent design and postmodern views of science, Science and Its Limits offers readers a thoughtful perspective on contemporary trends and useful advice on how to approach faith and science issues.
