Can We Believe It? Resource Publications (CA)

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Many people today believe that Christianity will not stand up to a scientific or intellectual investigation, and that science has all the answers. Such an attitude shows an ignorance of the wealth of available philosophical arguments and scientific information that Dr. Seber taps into in this book. Initially, he shows that mathematics and science are limited in what they can prove in spite of modern advances. He then summarizes his material using basic questions as ten chapter headings: Does God exist, is there a spiritual dimension, do we have free will, is the Bible reliable, who is Jesus, do miracles occur, why does God allow suffering and evil, is Christianity a blessing or a curse to society, what about evolution, and how can we get to know God? The reader may have other questions and a number are considered within each chapter, such as problems with philosophical materialism and atheism. He draws his material from many sources including statistics, physics, cosmology, genetics, philosophy, history, biochemistry, theology, psychology, archaeology, and biology. Comparatively, new subjects like epigenetics, chaos theory, and quantum mechanics, that many people are not aware of, are brought into the picture. These topics change our thinking about reality. ""This is a dangerous book for atheists and agnostics. The assembling of so much evidence might start to convince them that Christianity is not just blind faith, but a religion that has clear proof available. Much unique data is presented and the arguments from mathematics and physics are particularly convincing. For Christians, the book is a very helpful compendium of data, will strengthen their faith, and give arguments pertinent to their dialogue with others."" --Associate Professor Graeme Woodfield, Faculty of Molecular Medicine and Pathology, The University of Auckland, New Zealand ""Written in a clear and lucid style, devoid of technical philosophical terminology, Seber's work is easy to follow, is compelling readying, and aims to be used widely. Written by one who is both a mathematician/statistician and Christian counselor, this work offers many unique insights."" --Myk Habets, Head of Carey Graduate School, Carey Baptist College, Auckland, New Zealand; Author, Theology in Transposition: A Constructive Appraisal of T.F. Torrance ""George Seber is a superb synthesizer of literature and ideas. He makes challenging arguments accessible and he gets you there fast. . . . Seber writes concisely and comprehensively. In this book, as with all of Seber's books, you are efficiently introduced to all the big ideas and arguments that really matter."" --Christopher Wild, Author, Chance Encounters and Nonlinear Regression George Seber is an Emeritus Professor of Statistics at Auckland University, New Zealand, a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand, and recipient of the Hector medal in Information Sciences by the Society. He is the author, or coauthor, of seventeen books in statistics and, more recently, being a trained counselor/psychotherapist, has written an extensive book on counseling. He has published about ninety research articles in a wide variety of statistical subjects.

Oscar Wilde - Salome Wilder Publications

Salome tells the Biblical story of Salome, stepdaughter of the tetrarch Herod Antipas, who, to her stepfather's dismay but to the delight of her mother Herodias, requests the head of Jokanaan (John the Baptist) on a silver platter as a reward for dancing the Dance of the Seven Veils. A powerful tragedy, Wilde at his best.

How Minds Change Oneworld Publications

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

'In a time when too many minds seem closed, this is a masterful analysis of what it takes to open them' Adam Grant, author of the bestselling Think Again 'Optimistic, illuminating and even inspiring' GuardianAs the world is increasingly polarised, it feels impossible to change the mind of someone with a conflicting view. But this book shows that you could be one conversation away from changing someone's mind about something, maybe a lot of things. Self-delusion expert and psychology nerd David McRaney sets out to discover not just what it takes to influence others, but why we believe in the first place.Along the way he meets a former Westboro Baptist Church member who was deradicalised on Twitter, goes deep canvassing to see how quickly people will surrender their character-defining views, finds a 9/11 Truther who turns his back on it all, and reveals how, within a few years, half a country can go from opposing the 'gay agenda' to happily attending same-sex weddings. Distilling the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, How Minds Change reveals how beliefs take hold, not over hundreds of years, but in less than a generation, in less than a decade, and sometimes in an instant.
