Описание: Darwinian evolutionary theory is one of the brightest jewels in the crown of science, yet it has been highly controversial since its first appearance in the On the Origin of Species in 1859. Well known is the opposition of so many Christians, an opposition that shows little sign of abating today. In The Problem of War, philosopher Michael Ruse argues that the roots of the unease lie not simply (as many think) in a straight clash between science andreligion, but more deeply in the fact that, while professional biologists are producing first-class science, Darwinism has always had a somewhat darker side where it functions as a secular religion, a form of humanism, directly challenging Christianity.
Testing and confirming this claim, The Problem of War is an in-depth study of Christians and of Darwinians on the theme of war. It covers a wide range of thinkers: on the Christian side from Augustine to modern theologians such as Reinhold Niebuhr and Karl Barth, to the present Regius Professor of Theology at Oxford Nigel Biggar; and on the Darwinian side from Darwin himself to more modern thinkers like Konrad Lorenz, Frans de Waal, and the present Johnstone Family Professor in theDepartment of Psychology at Harvard, Steven Pinker. Ruse shows that the dynamic between Darwinians and Christians has not been a straightforward opposition, and complicates as it moves through the 20th century, as some Christian thinkers start to favor the inevitability of war and Darwinians acknowledge the idea of moral progress.
Ruse shows how in some cases, some were even able to integrate Darwinian and Christian perspectives on war. Best categorized as intellectual history, The Problem of War is a narrative, using a wide and deep breadth of knowledge and references to reveal nuances in how war as a core function of human nature has been understood. By appreciating the religious nature of the dispute, Ruse helps to foster a better understanding of the ongoing criticisms of Darwinism and creates a way for differing Christian and Darwinian perspectives to indeed find common meeting ground.

Do you ever wish you understood the Bible better?
Almost everyone does. Mature believers and new believers. Young and old. Those who have read the Bible for years and those just starting out.
This book, How to Understand the Bible: A Simple Guide, will help you gain an overall perspective on the flow and meaning of Scripture. It addresses questions like:
What is the Big Picture of the Bible?
What About Bible Translations?
How Should We Understand the Stories of the Old Testament?
How Should We Interpret What the Prophets Had to Say?
How Should We Understand the Teachings of Jesus?
What Was Jesus Teaching in the Parables?
How Can We Hear God's Voice in Scripture?
What are the Proper Ways to Apply Scripture to Life Today?
... and much more.
Knowing the Bible better is about knowing God better. And then we are better able to handle the hard realities of life and to realize the love and truth of God.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
"Clear, easy to read, great explanations... and in everyday language. It provides a 'big picture' of the Bible and how I can understand it better. It's a resource I'll refer to quite often... and encourage others to also. This is a MUST READ "
"This is a GREAT resource for ANYONE. If you are new to reading the Bible or if you've been reading it for years ... there's good information in this book for you."
Rarely have I seen a book take something as misunderstood as the Bible and make it so simple to understand. It is clear, concise, interesting and well written. It's gave me both an explanation of all aspects of the Bible and the encouragement to approach God's word with confidence.
