After explaining the difference between rationality and rationalism, the book examines the theme of rationality and logic with regard to three foundational areas: God’s thinking, God’s Word, and man as the image of God. In this endeavor various questions are answered: Does God think logically or is God’s thinking trans-rational? How does the logical law of non-contradiction relate to the Bible?

Solomon, with the aid of his teaching tool, Ecclesiastes, artfully leads us to the conclusion that life can make sense – that we can attain sanity in and for life lived. It’s simply about discovering ...

This is a short essay on the worship of doctors and the rejection of the scriptural description of God as our healer. With the amount of man-made pharmaceuticals that are produced, prescribed and used today we’ve entered an area that God does not speak well of. We run to doctors instinctively.
