Beyond the Cosmos: The Extra-Dimensionality of God: What Recent Discoveries in Astronomy and Physics Reveal about the Nature of God

Many Christian theologians, intimidated by liberalism, have retreated from the traditional view that God knows the future. They have adopted a small view of God, often known as "process theology." God does not know the future, because the future does not yet exist. God is discovering the future along with us. In this great book, Dr. Ross fully restores the orthodox doctrine of God's transcendence. He does so with the aid of modern physics. Dr. Ross' argument is irrebuttable. Time is just one of the created dimensions. The Creator can see all of time at a single glance, just as He can see the rest of the universe. Our past, present and future are all in the present tense to God. His name, "I AM," is more than just semantics!

I really enjoyed this book! Of particular interest was the discussion of the extra-dimensionality of God. It is worth the price of the book just to read the illustration about how challenging it is for a super-dimensional God to communicate with four-dimensional humans. Fascinating! I highly recommend this book.

I read this book when it first came out, but it was only after the death of my youngest child, that it really had it's impact on me. Yes, my son is out there in a higher dimension, still with me in a way that he fully lives and I can only comprehend by way of the discoveries Ross reveals in this book

In "Beyond the Cosmos" Hugh Ross presents scientific findings that assist in explaining how certain Biblical statements and theology can be true. Ross gives no implication that the Bible is anything other than infallible, and he recognizes that science has not discovered all the answers. His attitude seems to be that because God created this universe, true scientific discoveries support that fact. As a Christian research chemist, I found the book enlightening, exciting, and encouraging.

While I found that the book only dealt with a few new ideas to me, they were ideas that stretched my imagination to a level that made me focus more on our eternal existance rather than on the mundane, ordinary muck of everyday living. I borrowed it from a friend, and now I find myself recommending it to my friends, and I haven't even got a copy for myself yet! It's not an easy read, but it is worthwhile, and I wish I had some kind of clout to ensure you read every page! Hang on...it's worth it!
