Paperback. Zustand: Good. Jesus, Beginnings, and Science presents twelve guided discussions for Bible study groups. The individual studies are formatted to be used by groups irrespective of their previous training in the sciences or experience with the Bible. The easy-to-follow format includes the texts being discussed, questions to consider, reflections, suggestions for incorporating prayer and worship into meetings, and recommendations for further reading.With a focus on understanding how the Bible relates to science and with respect for diverse views, this study guide leads participants into courteous dialog. The book encourages unity within the church and offers a balanced perspective, which is necessary for preserving the faith of young Christians when they learn more about science and for presenting a more coherent and compelling gospel to people considering Christianity.The book begins with introductory comments by the authors, a chemistry professor and a campus pastor, and it offers suggestions for Bible study leaders. Then it moves into specific studies, four in each of these three topic areas: Part One: What does the Bible say about creation? Surprisingly, several New Testament passages focus on Jesus, science, and creation. The studies in this section explore scriptural perspectives on creation from both the Old and New Testaments.Part Two: What does the Bible say about human origins? Some people may tell you that there is only one Christian position on origins, but that is neither historically nor currently true. The studies in this section consider what it means to trust the Bible, to be made in the image of God, and to recognize that Christians hold a variety of views about human origins and evolution.Part ­Three: What does the Bible say about science? Scripture affirms that God created and sustains the natural world; Scripture does not tell us how God does all of this. The studies in this section reflect on the ways scientists hope to learn more about God through exploring God's creation.The book's concluding section, includes closing remarks from the authors, notes, and an annotated bibliography of additional resources.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What happens when someone from a northern city's suburbs packs up and moves to the rural south For Karen Bellenir, the transition involved finding her place in the life of a small town, making connections, growing new roots, and learning about the culture and the environment. It didn't always go smoothly, especially at dinner. Bellenir firmly resolves, 'I will not eat pig feet. I've been informed that these are called trotters and that they are especially fine when pickled. I'm sorry, but I agree with another transplant to the area who commented: I know where they've been.' Sometimes reality forced her to reconsider cherished notions. 'I used to think mice were cute,' she says. 'My mental image focused on furry little bodies, oversized ears, and earnest eyes. Small and fluffy. Tiny pink toes and little pink noses.' In other words, the stuff of greeting cards. Rural experience revealed mice to be costly eating machines that even chewed on expensive car parts. At other times, Bellenir found herself awed by the region's natural beauty, moved by the town's earnest efforts to overcome mistakes of the past, and inspired by the people who welcomed her with open arms and open hearts. Upon moving to Farmville, Bellenir began writing 'Happy to Be Here,' a monthly newspaper column for The Farmville Herald. Every month she reported on her progress of getting acclimated, meeting new people, and making discoveries. This book presents her first seven years' worth of columns arranged in a topical order that loosely follows the calendar year. It begins with a Prelude that answers the question: 'Why Farmville ' Then its pages turn to celebrations of the New Year, the unfurling of seasons, and encounters along the way. A Postlude concludes, 'Still Happy, Grateful Too.' Marge Swayne, writer and editor for The Farmville Herald and Farmville the Magazine, sums it up this way, 'Karen Bellenir likes cows. There's one on the cover of her book, Happy to be Here, and yes, she still likes cows even after a close cow encounter on High Bridge Trail. Making the cow's acquaintance, Bellenir noted, was not the 'mooooving' experience she expected; in fact, the cow was not moving at all. Fortunately, all ended well. That, and many other 'happy-to-be-heres, ' make Bellenir's book a delight. It's impossible to read without saying to yourself at least once, 'You know what -- I'm happy to be here, too!'.…
