Book Description
Throughout history, arguments for and against the existence of God have been largely confined to philosophy and theology, while science has sat on the sidelines. Despite the fact that science has revolutionized every aspect of human life and greatly clarified our understanding of the world, somehow the notion has arisen that it has nothing to say about the possibility of a supreme being, which much of humanity worships as the source of all reality. This book contends that, if God exists, some evidence for this existence should be detectable by scientific means, especially considering the central role that God is alleged to play in the operation of the universe and the lives of humans. Treating the traditional God concept, as conventionally presented in the Judeo-Christian and Islamic traditions, like any other scientific hypothesis, physicist Stenger examines all of the claims made for God's existence. He considers the latest Intelligent Design arguments as evidence of God's influence in biology. He looks at human behavior for evidence of immaterial souls and the possible effects of prayer. He discusses the findings of physics and astronomy in weighing the suggestions that the universe is the work of a creator and that humans are God's special creation. After evaluating all the scientific evidence, Stenger concludes that beyond a reasonable doubt the universe and life appear exactly as we might expect if there were no God. This paperback edition of the New York Times bestselling hardcover edition contains a new foreword by Christopher Hitchens and a postscript by the author in which he responds to reviewers' criticisms of the original edition.

Book Description
"Some will assert that what we have in the Old Testament was what God 'was' whilst what we have in the New Testament is what he 'is' now. That leaves the very crucial question: 'Are we sure of what he will be tomorrow?'Where did this disconnect come from?How did Jesus explain Luke 24:25-27, 44-49 as one pointing to himself? If the message of the Scriptures was about himself and he (Jesus) is God as affirmed (not only by the eyewitnesses but from Scriptures prophesied and fulfilled), then is there a difference between Jesus in the Four Gospels and God as spoken of in the Old Testament writings?Could the New Testament writers have explained from the Old Testament writings and yet assert differently from what was written in certain portions of the same books?If it is true that all the Old Testament writings are inspired by God, then, there is the need to find out if there is a disconnect at all or why there should not be one at all.This is the basis of the 'THIS IS OUR GOD' series."This is our God - His wrath (2020

Book Description
In today's religiously plural world, theologian S. Wesley Ariarajah believes that authentic Christian faith demands that we rethink central concepts of the Christian theological tradition. Ariarajah's work is based on the conviction that some of the basic doctrinal formulations about God, Sin, Christ, Salvation, and Mission can in fact be rethought for our day, helping us to affirm deeply the Christian faith while still respecting other religious experiences in their distinctiveness. In this book, Ariarajah traces the biblical roots and theological developments of these doctrines, evaluates their coherence, and recommends new constructive options for a Christian theology of religions in the context of religious plurality.
