Press Release Body: Gordon J. Glover, author of Beyond the Firmament: Understanding Science and the Theology of Creation, has released a three-part online video series entitled Does Science Contradict the Bible? These three online videos mark the beginning of a series of resources designed to encourage Christians to study the relationship between science and the Bible. The videos are freely available through the Beyond the Firmament website at www.beyondthefirmament.com.
The first video is entitled What is Science? What is the Bible? and addresses these basic questions which undergird the entire faith and science debate. Glover considers the nature of each of these realms from a historical perspective, never losing sight that in the midst of scientific discovery, the heavens have always declared the glory of God. The second video asks What kind of "Science" does the Bible teach? Many people say that the Bible is not a science textbook, which is true, but upon which scientific model of the universe does this drama of redemption unfold? Glover contends that if we are willing to set aside our modern 21st century understanding of the heavens and the earth and see the Bible as the original audience would have understood it, the answer to this question becomes clear. The final video asks How should Christians treat the natural sciences today? What should Christians do with the apparent contradictions between science and Scripture? How does a Biblical worldview affect our interaction with contemporary science? Such questions are addressed by Glover in this final video in the trilogy.
These videos have been released online in conjunction with the new book Beyond the Firmament: Understanding Science and the Theology of Creation, the debut release from Gordon J. Glover and Watertree Press. Dr. Christopher M. Sharp, research astrophysicist and educator, praises the book and notes "it should pique some Christians, agnostics, and atheists into thinking about what they believe, or what they do not believe."
Beyond the Firmament is being distributed through Ingram Book Group or may be ordered online at Amazon.com or BN.com. More information about the book can be found at www.beyondthefirmament.com which is also where the video series is available.
