Title: The Question of Origins (Special 3-in-1 Edition)
By: Ron Choong, PhD
Price: RM49.90
Description:
When you read any book with a title such as The Origin of the Universe, or The Origin of Life, or The Origin of Man, you end up with a single conclusion – we have no scientific idea. Cosmogony, biogenesis and anthropogenesis are relatively new fields of research that depend on the findings of many other fields.

On the question of origins, these sub-fields of physics, chemistry and biology all hit their epistemic limits and enter philosophical speculation. While the sciences and philosophy help theological reflection, they cannot themselves be the basis of truth. They function to explain what we can observe: the sciences offer the best explanations drawn from testable hypotheses and philosophy considers coherent possibilities. But theology offers the most comprehensive framework because it is methodologically inclusive and has always been informed by other fields of human inquiry.

Truth corresponds to reality. But we have no cognitive access to its fullness - both natural and non-natural realities - this side of heaven. Theology has two advantages over science and philosophy. It draws from the Word of God and with insights from science and philosophy, achieves an increasingly holistic understanding of reality. As this book explains, this is especially so in the question of origins.

 

 

What is Project Timothy?

What is PROJECT TIMOTHY?

 


This is a program for a community to study the Bible at a level much deeper than regular Bible study groups. While the revelation of God is specially given to us in the witness of the Scriptures, God has not been silent elsewhere. God invites us to understand what can be known about God by observing the things He has made through fields of human inquiry such as the natural sciences, philosophy, mathematics, music, literature, art, history, geology, archaeology, sociology etc.

PT takes its participants systematically through the Bible in six 5-session semesters. The semesters run from Feb-June and Aug-Dec each year. The entire Bible is covered over three years if done continuously. The curriculum is designed by apologist and theologian, Ron Choong.

The goal in PT is to disciple and stretch the Christian mind. Through the close reading of the Bible as a devotional exercise and an important form of worship we invite men and women to develop a responsible apologetic, a spirit of intellectual charity, a heart for evangelism and missions, as well as a deep interest in discipleship of others.
