Block, Guthrie
WE HAVE A VERY LIMITED QUANTITY OF EACH TITLE
(1) GOD AND GALILEO: What a 400-Year-Old Letter Teaches Us about Faith and Science by David L. Block, Kenneth C. Freeman
"A devastating attack upon the dominance of atheism in science today." -Giovanni Fazio, Senior Physicist, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
The debate over the ultimate source of truth in our world often pits science against faith.
In fact, some high-profile scientists today would have us abandon God entirely as a source of truth about the universe.
In this book, two professional astronomers push back against this notion, arguing that the science of today is not in a position to pronounce on the existence of God—rather, our notion of truth must include both the physical and spiritual domains.
Incorporating excerpts from a letter written in 1615 by famed astronomer Galileo Galilei, the authors explore the relationship between science and faith, critiquing atheistic and secular understandings of science while reminding believers that science is an important source of truth about the physical world that God created.
(2) SAINTS AND SCOUNDRELS: In the Story of Jesus by Nancy Guthrie
“Saints and Scoundrels in the Story of Jesus is convicting and comforting at once, reminding all true believers that God’s family is rough around the edges and held together by grace.” —Rosaria Butterfield, Former Professor of English, Syracuse University; author, The Gospel Comes with a House Key
The story of Jesus in the Gospels includes all kinds of interesting people—some who claimed to be saints but proved to be scoundrels, as well as scoundrels who were transformed into saints. In Saints and Scoundrels in the Story of Jesus, Nancy Guthrie provides a fresh look into what shaped and motivated people such as John the Baptist, Peter, the Pharisees, Zacchaeus, Judas, Caiaphas, Barabbas, Stephen, and Paul. Join her as she reintroduces us to these biblical characters, helping us to see more clearly the ways in which they reveal the generous grace of Jesus toward sinners.
