New Book: More Reasons

New Book: More Reasons 6.99 GBP, plus postage from
www.lulu.com/willowpublications

In many respects the case for faith has never been stronger. The discoveries
of modern physics have provided strong indication that there is an
intelligence behind the universe. A renaissance in Christian philosophy has
provided robust and respected defences against traditional challenges to
theism. Scholars find they can no longer justify the hasty dismissal of the
biblical text as either legendary or outdated. And yet despite these
positive changes religious believers find their sincere convictions
dismissed as ill-founded and irrational. 

In this book a number of authors bring together their various expertise and
experience to continue laying out reasons for believing in God, Jesus and
the Bible. Arguments are drawn from human rationality to the divine
character of the Bible, providing additional support for faith in the modern
world.

The Bible and Science seminar

The Bible and Science

On 29th March, God willing, the Christadelphians are holding at Downend a series of seminar type presentations on "The Bible and Science" which are designed to show that there is abundant evidence in the creation for the existence of God. 
These sessions will run from 2.30 to 7.15pm and will be held at the Downend Christadelphian Hall. The Presenters are Brethren John, Michael and James Thorpe.

A Poster, together with a Programme giving full details of the individual sessions and the qualifications of the speakers, has been circulated to Ecclesias in the region. If anyone has missed this notice please email me at peterbawdon@hotmail.com for further details.

It is hoped that the sessions will be attractive to youngsters from the age of 14, and to all Brethren and Sisters, interested in this fascinating subject.

A Work book of guidance notes is being produced by the Thorpe brethren to help with the understanding of the topics being discussed. This will be a 48 page pdf document and copies can be emailed to anyone who books in and provides an email address. Please, therefore, will all those intending to come email Peter Bawdon at peterbawdon@hotmail.com by 22 March at the latest. This will also enable us to gauge numbers for tea.
