Autor knihy vás poutavým způsobem uvedou do historie vědy a jejího vztahu k náboženství a ateismu. Pro mnohé čtenáře bude jistě překvapivé, že nepřátelský vztah mezi vědou a vírou tu nebyl od počátku a že křesťanství mělo zásadní význam pro vytvoření toho, čemu říkáme moderní věda. Málokdo si dnes uvědomuje, jak silný vliv měla křesťanská víra v době vzniku a utváření všech přírodních věd.... celý text

Don't Think, Just Believe?That's the mantra in many circles today—whether the church, the classroom, the campus, or the voting booth. Time for a Reality CheckNancy Pearcey, bestselling and critically acclaimed author, offers fresh tools to break free from presumed certainties and test them against reality.

Finding Truth displays Pearcey's well-earned reputation for clear and cogent writing. She brings themes to life with personal stories and real-world examples. The book includes a study guide shaped by questions from readers, from teens to college professors. It is ideal for individual or group study.

Filled with moving stories, Chuck Colson's The Faith is a powerful manifesto of the great truths of Christianity that have built western society and called believers to heroic action through the centuries. Colson considered The Faith to be his legacy book to the Christian world.
Discusses how a person's view of the world influences how a person lives and argues that Christians are called not only to personal faith but to a biblical worldview.
"I consider The Soul of Science to be a most significant book which, in our scientific age, should be required reading for all thinking Christians and all practicing scientists. The authors demonstrate how the flowering of modern science depended upon the Judeo-Christian worldview of the existence of a real physical contingent universe, created and held in being by an omnipotent personal God, with man having the capabilities of rationality and creativity, and thus being capable of investigating it. Pearcey and Thaxton make excellent use of analogies to elucidate difficult concepts, and the clarity of their explanations for the nonspecialist, for example, of Einstein's relativity theories or of the informational content of DNA and its consequences for theories of prebiotic evolution, are quite exceptional, alone making the volume worth purchasing." --Dr. David Shotton, Lecturer in Cell Biology, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford "Pearcey and Thaxton show that the alliance between atheism and science is a temporary aberration and that, far from being inimical to science, Christian theism has played and will continue to play an important role in the growth of scientific understanding. This brilliant book deserves wide readership." --Phillip E. Johnson, University of California, Berkeley "This book would be an excellent text for courses on science and religion, and it should be read by all Christians interested in the relationship between science and their theological commitments." --J.P. Moreland, Professor of Philosophy, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University
Here are more than 150 commentaries on life in America today, transcribed from Charles Colson's daily radio program "BreakPoint". Colson pulls no punches in this confrontation between the myths of modern life and the truth of God's Word.
