Bibles and Scripture Studies

Does science discredit the Bible, God, religious faith?

Absolutely not, says Dr. Michael Guillen, former Harvard physics instructor and Emmy-winning ABC News Science Editor. In Amazing Truths, he uses his entertaining, down-to-earth storytelling skills to reveal ten astonishing truths affirmed by both ancient Scripture and modern science that answer some of our biggest questions:

In Amazing Truths, Dr. Guillen explains that faith is not some outdated way of thinking. Faith is a necessary part of science, Christianity, and any intelligent, comprehensive, coherent worldview--vastly more powerful than even logic.

Amazing Truths will expand your mind and bolster your faith. You will see for yourself what Dr. Guillen, a theoretical physicist and devout Christian, has discovered in a lifetime of serious exploration--that science and faith are not at odds. In fact, they're the ultimate power couple.

The new introduction in this second edition helpfully situates the book within current approaches to Paul. Gorman also brings the conversation up-to-date with major recent developments in Pauline studies and devotes greater attention to themes of participation, transformation, resurrection, justice, and peace.

Without the Resurrection, our faith is empty. With it, we are born anew to a living hope.

In a world overshadowed by despair, Arise calls Christians to rediscover the blazing promise of resurrection that has animated God's people from Abraham to the apostles and down through the ages. In these fifty transformative meditations, Scripture opens before your eyes with fresh clarity, unveiling how the power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in you -- now and forever.

Drawing from patriarchs and prophets, psalms and parables, this book reveals the progressive unfolding of resurrection faith throughout salvation history, culminating in Christ's own ministry and mystery of resurrection: "I AM the Resurrection." You will see how:

Accessible and powerful, Arise is divided into fifty short chapters -- perfect for daily prayer, retreats, or group study. Each section includes Scripture references, reflection questions, and a reading plan, making it an ideal companion for the Easter season or any time of year when faith needs rekindling.

This book presents resurrection not as a distant doctrine but as the living reality of Christ dwelling within you -- calling you, day by day, to rise. To stand. To live.

Christ is risen. His word resounds in every heart willing to hear: "Arise."
