A Scientific Approach to Biblical Mysteries

Being a newer Christian, for most of my life being an agnostic, many things I would quote in my "proving" the Bible as bunk, can be explained in a way that shows the Christian side of the story. Really, disproving the Bible was unattainable. It's only proven the word to me. We are trained in society as a whole by science, discouraging faith in many ways. I love that the two(science & faith)can be married and proven. This is ONE book that helps a newer Christian (and I'm sure some not so new Christians) understand possibilities to historic events. Putting history to events, events to history. As stated before, Robert Faid always gives glory to God. As it should be.

This book makes it easier to be an inquisitive christian. Before reading it, I would often allow things that seem minor to get in the way of my faith. This book has helped me to understand that some things may be able to be explained by humans, but it emphasizes that these suggestions make the events no less miraculous. I also applaud Faid for his obvious faith among many sceptical colleagues. I would recommend this book to christians more than non-christians, though. It may be easy for a non-christian to discount miracles as nothing more than great coinsidences after tearing parts out of this book. To my relief, whenever it seemed that people might feel that the author was downsizing God's miracles, Faid would remind the reader that his were merely suggestions, and that only God could give the best answers.

This is a great book for those skeptical of the bibles accuracy and purpose. He sticks to the facts, not delving into metaphors (although there are many metaphors in the bible), and explains that it is indeed a book of history and truth.
