Nancy Pearcey Bücher

Is secularism a positive force in the modern world? Or does it lead to fragmentation and disintegration? In Saving Leonardo, best-selling award-winning author Nancy Pearcey (Total Truth, coauthor How Now Shall We Live?) makes a compelling case that secularism is destructive and dehumanizing.Pearcey depicts the revolutionary thinkers and artists, the ideas and events, leading step by step to the unleashing of secular worldviews that undermine human dignity and liberty. She crafts a fresh approach that exposes the real-world impact of ideas in philosophy, science, art, literature, and film--voices that surround us in the classroom, in the movie theater, and in our living rooms.A former agnostic, Pearcey offers a persuasive case for historic Christianity as a holistic and humane alternative. She equips readers to counter the life-denying worldviews that are radically restructuring society and pervading our daily lives. Whether you are a devoted Christian, determined secularist, or don't know quite where you stand, reading Saving Leonardo will unsettle established views and topple ideological idols. Includes more than 100 art reproductions and illustrations that bring the book's themes to life.

This significant book should be essential reading for all thoughtful Christians and practicing scientists. The authors illustrate how modern science emerged from the Judeo-Christian worldview, which posits a real, contingent universe created by an omnipotent personal God. They argue that humanity's rationality and creativity enable us to explore this universe. Pearcey and Thaxton effectively use analogies to clarify complex concepts, making their explanations accessible to non-specialists. Their insights into topics like Einstein's relativity and the informational content of DNA are exceptional, justifying the book's purchase. Dr. David Shotton from the University of Oxford praises its clarity and relevance. Additionally, Pearcey and Thaxton assert that the perceived alliance between atheism and science is a temporary phenomenon; rather, Christian theism has historically contributed to scientific advancement and will continue to do so. Phillip E. Johnson from the University of California, Berkeley, emphasizes the book's importance for a broad audience. J.P. Moreland from Talbot School of Theology recommends it as an excellent resource for understanding the interplay between science and Christian theology, making it a valuable text for courses on science and religion.

Here are more than 150 commentaries on life in America today, transcribed from Charles Colson's daily radio program "BreakPoint". Colson pulls no punches in this confrontation between the myths of modern life and the truth of God's Word.

Autor knihy vás poutavým způsobem uvedou do historie vědy a jejího vztahu k náboženství a ateismu. Pro mnohé čtenáře bude jistě překvapivé, že nepřátelský vztah mezi vědou a vírou tu nebyl od počátku a že křesťanství mělo zásadní význam pro vytvoření toho, čemu říkáme moderní věda. Málokdo si dnes uvědomuje, jak silný vliv měla křesťanská víra v době vzniku a utváření všech přírodních věd.... celý text
