How are we to make sense ofthe Bible in the context of themodern world?In this book,you will discover a new wayof perceivingthe world; away in which the biblicalview of the world can beseen as just as true-for-us asthe modern scientific view ofthe world.Using phenomenology as aphilosophical framework forthe construction of atheology of appearances, theauthor develops atheological reaffirmation ofthe validity of the biblicaldescription of the world: theway the phenomenal worldappears to us is reality.Without discounting thevalidity of the modernscientific view of the world,this book demonstrates howthe biblical description ofreality is of far greaterrelevance to us than are thedescriptions of reality givento us by modern science andpopular science writers.A.
