Description
Book SynopsisThis book analyzes the logical reasoning of Jesus Christ's Words in the Holy Bible. The author demonstrates that formal human reasoning can be an applicable method of interpreting these statements, but not generally for logical inferences nor for a few specific passages.
Trade ReviewDr. Prichard's research on the logical nature of Christ's statements, which demonstrates that Christ's words are very generally consistent with human reasoning, takes a key step toward regaining the theological ground that was lost needlessly in the debate between faith and science. He has reframed the structure of that debate from its traditional adversarial configuration of "science versus faith" into the conciliatory configuration of "science plus faith," thereby recapturing the much-too-long ceded ground. The significant evidence that Dr. Prichard's research demonstrates for such a reconciliation should reinvigorate the believers' attack on the shopworn view that faith and science have no common ground; and the place in his research that clearly distinguishes where a reconciliation cannot be made is not only consistent with all of the logical theorems regarding axiomatic incompleteness but also clarifies the view that while faith and science are overlapping and mutually supportive in many cases, they are not and never will be fully unified. -- David Lutzweiler, Cyrus Scofield biographer
