Description
In Search of God: A Look at Life's Most Essential Question examines the centuries-old debate over the existence of God from the perspective of the Christian worldview, and with three particular points of emphasis:
Part One: "Reason in the Balances," looks at the philosophical assumptions of science and asks whether it is even rational to believe in God.
Part Two: "The Fingerprint of God," explores the nature of human intelligence and the question of whether man could have become a rational being through the process of unguided evolution.
Part Three: "The Serpent in the Garden - Reconciling the Person of God with the Problem of Evil," examines the issue of how it is possible for evil to exist in a universe where a supposedly loving, all-powerful God created only that which was good.
Also included are two appendices. The first examines the common question of why a perfect God would require men to worship Him. The second outlines various essential characteristics of a true supreme being, and offers commentary on how these characteristics clash with the teachings of religions such as Zoroastrianism, Hinduism and Mormonism.
