How do we understand and articulate our Christian faith in the age of science? Are the two in conflict? Fr Christopher Knight - a theologian who also holds a doctorate in astrophysics - is well-equipped to guide us through these questions. He argues that not only is there no conflict between faith and science, but our contemporary scientific worldview can be deepened and refined by engagement with the riches of the ancient Orthodox tradition.

Môže byť Mesiac umelý? Môže byť dokonca dutý? Pri prirodzenom vesmírnom telese to zdanlivo neprichádza do úvahy.
Čo spôsobuje, že Mesiac sa otáča rýchlosťou rovnou presne jednej stotine rýchlosti, akou sa otáča Zem okolo svojej osi? A prečo je Mesiac presne 400-krát menší než Slnko a presne 400-krát bližšie k Zemi?
Prečo sme pri pohľade na každý významný aspekt týkajúci sa Mesiaca zistili ucelenú a dokonalú postupnosť celých čísel a nijaký podobný systém neexistuje pri ktorejkoľvek planétu alebo mesiaci v Slnečnej sústave?
Whether we recognise it or not, virtually every aspect of our life today has
been influenced in part by the aesthetic legacy of Modernism. In this Very
Short Introduction Christopher Butler examines how and why Modernism began,
explaining what it is and showing how it has gradually informed all aspects of
20th and 21st century life.
Is Freemasonry nothing more than a benign and charitable men's social club as the Order insists or does it have a deeper and perhaps darker purpose? Could these men be part of the "Illuminati" -- a group of intellectuals with extremely grand plans for the development of civilization? And if so, what is the grand plan that these men were so determined to bring about, and why should there be such opposition to it? Christopher Knight and Alan Butler reveal that present-day Freemasons are the spiritual descendents of an ancient priesthood that was forced to act in secrecy. In the early days of Christianity, their views offended and opposed those of the orthodox Church, and later in feudal Europe, both the State and the established Church considered them heretics and sworn enemies. Yet, they could not be silenced -- or defeated -- and members of this priesthood have continued to this day to work in subtle and sometimes subversive ways to achieve their aims, often occupying very elevated positions within Western society, and always maintaining complete anonymity to those outside their fellowship. The extraordinary story that unfolds in Solomon's Power Brokers reveals that the building of the modern world was no haphazard process. There was a grand plan -- and it has succeeded. The "New World Order" is already here.
The moon has confounded scientists for many years. It does not obey the known rules of astrophysics and there is no theory of its origin that explains the known facts--in fact it should not really be there...The authors of Civilization One return, bringing new evidence about the Moon that will shake up our world. Christopher Knight and Alan Butler realized that the ancient system of geometry they presented in their earlier, breakthrough study works as perfectly for the Moon as it does the Earth. On further investigation, they found a consistent sequence of beautiful integer numbers when looking at every major aspect of the Moon--no such pattern emerges for any other planet or moon in the solar system. In addition, Knight and Butler discovered that the Moon possesses few or no heavy metals and has no core—something that should not be possible. Their persuasive conclusion: if higher life only developed on Earth because the Moon is exactly what it is and where it is, it becomes unreasonable to cling to the idea that the Moon is a natural object. The only question that remains is, who built it?
Slobodomurárstvo, Venuša a tajný kľúč k životu Ježiša. Kniha o Chíramovi Christophera Knighta a Roberta Lomasa, autorov Chíramovho kľúča, Urielovho stroja a Druhého Mesiáša, je mimoriadnym príbehom o štrnásťročnom skúmaní pôvodu slobodomurárskych rituálov...
This is the amazing story of how a quest to try to crack the mystery of the Megalithic Yard—an ancient unit of linear measurement—led to the discovery of compelling evidence pointing to the existence of an unknown, highly advanced culture which was the precursor to the earliest known civilizations such as the Sumerians and the Egyptians. There must have been a Civilization One.Knight and Butler reveal the secrets of an extraordinary integrated measuring system which might have been lost to the world for ever. It was a system, far more advanced than anything used today, which forms the basis of both the Imperial and Metric measure systems! These ancient scientists understood the dimensions, motions and relationships of the Earth, Moon and Sun—they measured the solar system and even understood how the speed of light was integrated into the movements of our planet. Their conclusions fly in the face of everything that we thought we knew about the origins of the modern world—but the evidence is incontrovertible.And the implications of these revelations go far beyond the fascination of the discovery of a “super-science” of prehistory; they indicate a grand plan which may have far-reaching theological ramifications.
This is the extraordinary story of Knight and Lomas's fourteen year quest to
uncover the secret teachings buried beneath Roslin Chapel near Edinburgh. This
book reveals for the first time why there were such high expectations of a
Messiah at the time of the birth of Jesus Christ.
Postmodernism has been a buzzword of contemporary society for the last decade.

challenges and explores the key ideas of postmodernists, and their engagement
with theory, literature, the visual arts, film, architecture, and music.
Po více než sedm století se Turínské plátno považovalo za drahocennou relikvii s otiskem těla ukřižovaného Ježíše Krista. V roce 1988 laboratorní zkoušky definitivně potvrdily, že plátno nemůže pocházet před rokem 1260 n.l.
Podle názoru autorů knihy se však Turínské plátno spojuje s tzv. velkým tajemstvím zednářství a s tajnými společnostmi, které jej po staletí uchovávaly.
Povesť o Enochovi, ktorému anjel Uriel prikázal zachovať tajomstvá civilizácie, pretože jej hrozil zánik, môže obsahovať rovnako veľa pravdy ako tá o celosvetovej potope, o ktorej biblické a babylonské zdroje, ale už aj dnešná archeológia tvrdia, že nastala dávno predtým, než sa ľudstvo naučilo písať.
Ľudstvo je záhada hľadajúca vlastné vysvetlenie. Archeológovia na celom svete však zisťujú, že väčšina údajov o prehistorickej dobe v súčasných učebniciach je neadekvátna. A niektoré údaje sú celkom chybné... Prehistória, ako sme sa už učili, sa zakladá na niekoľkých predpokladoch, ktoré už nemôžeme považovať za platné. Vo svetle nových archeologických i astronomických poznatkov začíname inak rozumieť aj starým textom a ústnym podaniam o Nóachovi (Noemovi), staviteľovi biblickej archy, čo potopu prežil, aj o jeho praotcovi Enochovi. Ústne tradície slobodomurárstva tvrdia, že pred potopou existovala vysoko rozvinutá civilizácia a hovoria tiež o tom, ako všetko, čo bolo ľudstvu drahé a existovalo pred potopou, museli zrekonštruovať tí, čo ju prežili.
Sú to len mýty, alebo sú to zachované spomienky dávno stratených ľudí?
There is now no published theory to explain the enigma of the Turin Shroud that fits the known evidence. Many people want the shroud to be proof of Christ's mission, but Knight and Lomas prove that it is not. The truth behind the shroud is an epic story of pride, greed, powerlust and suffering. It had been prophesised that the Messiah would return shortly after 1230AD. Jacques de Molay was born in 1244, beacame a Templar in 1265 and Grand Master om 1297; the Templars regarded themselves as the guardians of the secret teachings of Jesus. In 1307 Molay was arrested at the instigation of the Pope, who was alarmed at the spread of this influence - and was crucified. Using the latest scientific techniques , the authors prove that the shroud Molay was wrapped in is the one now known as the Turin Shroud.
Sú zvitky, ukryté Ježišovo tajné učenie, ukryté v Škótsku? Boli zvitky obsahujúce Ježišovo tajné učenie zakopané pod Herodesov chrám, aby ich v 12. storočí vykopali templári, predchodcovia moderných slobodomurárov a prijali ich rituály? Boli neskôr tieto zvitky znova zakopané pod presnú rekonštrukciu Herodesovho chrámu na vrchole škótskeho kopca, kde teraz čakajú, kým ich opäť objavia?
