Intelligent Design
Bridge Between Science/Theology
Dr. William Dembski brilliantly argues that intelligent design provides a crucial link between science and theology. Effectively challenging the hegemony of naturalism and reinstating design within science, showing how intelligent design can be unpacked as a theory of information.
    Dr. Dembski has taught at Northwestern University, the University of Notre Dame, and the University of Dallas. He has done postdoctoral work in mathematics at MIT, in physics at the University of Chicago, and in computer science at Princeton University. A graduate of the University of Illinois at Chicago where he earned a B.A. in psychology, an M.S. in statistics, and a Ph.D. in philosophy, he also received a doctorate in mathematics from the University of Chicago in 1988 and a master of divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1996. He has held National Science Foundation graduate and postdoctoral fellowships.

Evidence for Creation
The subject of origins has always been a controversial issue. How and when did life begin? Was it a result of random chance processes over millions of years of time or was life designed by a Creator. The controversy surrounding the origin and history of life has triggered heated debate between supporters of the two opposing views… Creation and Evolution.  Evolutionists claim their beliefs are scientific and accurate, proclaiming their theory as an indisputable fact.  Creationists maintain their perspective is logical and can be supported by the observable evidence. Is it really possible to know which of these two models is correct?  Is there a test which can be made to examine the credibility of a theory?  Roger Oakland examines the fundamental principles of the evolution and creation models and tests them against the observable evidence.

Signature In The Cell -
Stephen C. Meyer
Named Book Of The Year By Times Literary Supplement, Voted By Amazon As One Of The Top Ten Science Books of 2009
Documents new evidence for God's   signature in the cell DNA.
    Signature in the Cell is the first book to make a comprehensive case for intelligent design based upon DNA. Meyer embarks on an odyssey of discovery as he investigates current evolutionary theories and the evidence that ultimately led him to affirm intelligent design. Clearly defining what ID is and is not, Meyer shows that the argument for intelligent design is not based on ignorance or "giving up on science," but instead upon our growing scientific knowledge of the information stored in the cell.

The Design Revolution
Answering the Toughest Questions About Intelligent Design, Dr. William A. Dembski rises to the occasion clearly and concisely answering the most vexing questions posed to the intelligent design program. Writing with nonexperts in mind, Dembski responds to more than sixty questions asked by experts and nonexperts alike who have attended his many public lectures, as well as objections raised in written reviews.
Dr. Dembski has taught at Northwestern University, the University of Notre Dame, and the University of Dallas. He has done postdoctoral work in mathematics at MIT, in physics at the University of Chicago, and in computer science at Princeton.

Evil and the Justice of God -
N.T. Wright
How Can a Loving God Exist in a World So Full of Suffering?
With every earthquake and war, understanding the nature of evil and our response to it becomes more urgent. Evil is no longer the concern just of ministers and theologians but also of politicians and the media.
    "Evil and the Justice of God unravels any skeptic's doubt that a loving God can exist in a world so full of suffering. Tom Wright offers a breathtaking glimpse into the mind and purposes of God… and a hope-filled plan for how we can reconcile a broken world with the kingdom to come."
- Peggy Wehmeyer, host, World Vision Report

The Wedge of Truth -
Phillip E. Johnson
Applying his wedge of truth, Johnson analyzes the latest debates between science and religion played out in our media, our universities and society-at-large. He looks to thinkers such as Newbigin, Polanyi and Pascal to lay a foundation for our seeing the universe in a totally different way. And from that base he then considers the educational programs and research agendas that should be undertaken--and have already begun in some earnest--during this new century.
    In the end, Johnson prophetically concludes that the walls of naturalism will fall and that the Christian gospel must play a vital role in building a new foundation fro thinking--not just about science and religion but about everything that gives human life hope and meaning.
