Synopsis

The book is the sequel to "Steps Towards the Summit", which traces the evolution of Man from the microbe level to the point where he receives intelligence. Is there evolution for man after he reaches the intelligence stage? Yes, there is. As an intelligent person, Man can converse with God and, if God wills it, he could receive the capacity to know God as He knows Himself and thus share in God's life and happiness. "The Best of Life" is based on the Judeo-Christian faith, which promises the capacity mentioned here to men and women of good will.

À propos de l?auteur

Thomas Sigley has spent over fifty years as a High School teacher in Christian Mission Schools in Japan. He has published a comprehensive review of evolutionary theory ( Steps Towards the Summit) and a study of Australian prose literature ( Writing Across the Continent ). This book ( The Best of Life ) finds its inspiration in the Judaeo/Christian faith. The author's text is more than the reflections of an individual. He has read widely, and is aware of the great advances made in the critical appreciation of biblical literature in recent times. He skillfully introduces the readers to two outstanding 20th century interpreters of the Scriptures, C.H.Dodd, widely recognized as one of the greatest biblical scholars of our times, and Michael Ramsey, who became Archbishop of Canterbury, and whose book on the Resurrection of Christ is a classic on the subject. The reader will learn new things and will be left with much to ponder. The author has dedicated the book to those who feel the need for a better understanding of the foundations of Christian belief.
