$27.99Add to cart“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse” (Romans 1:20, NIV).
For centuries, Western culture operated within the context of a Christian worldview. For this reason, the answer to any question was anchored in the belief that God exists and is the Creator and Sustainer of all, and that the Bible is a trustworthy revelation of God. Many of the founders of modern science, including Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Pascal, Boyle, Newton, and Halley, were believers of those central concepts.
During the past 200 years, our culture, particularly the scientific community, has been moving away from the Christian worldview, and assuming a naturalistic stance that discounts any supernatural intervention in the origin, functioning, and maintenance of our world. As a result, two opposing philosophical views contend for allegiance today.
Understanding Creation articulates twenty questions about faith and science that Christians often encounter. The co-editors have assembled an international group of experienced scientists, researchers, and thinkers who provide thoughtful answers to these questions. They all share several convictions: the biblical record is an essential component of Christian doctrine; Christian faith and empirical science can work fruitfully together; and our comprehension of truth is progressive

Always Prepared : Answers To Questions About Our Faith
$27.99Add to cart“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15, NIV). Throughout the history of the Christian era, and in particular since the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, many skeptics have called into question the reliability of the Bible. The recent rise of postmodernism has brought about a new round of questioning regarding Scripture’s reliability and many other issues foundational to a biblical worldview. Always Prepared poses twenty questions that answer in large part the overarching question, Why am I a Seventh-day Adventist? The co-editors have assembled a distinguished group of scholars and theologians who skillfully probe and provide sound answers to such questions as, What’s so special about the seventh day of the week? Who was Ellen White? Are there moral absolutes? Do Christians worship three Gods? What’s unique about Jesus? A companion book to Understanding Creation, Always Prepared is a collection of essays, by well-known Adventist scholars, that is guaranteed to provide a deep and thoughtful read.
