The Transparent Truth

Have you ever just sat down to try and figure out some of the tricky questions about your faith? This is where I was several years ago, trying to think through some of the things I was repeatedly asked about but had never really answered to my satisfaction, or that of my friends! Questions such as what is sin? How did it come about and how does it affect me and my children? Can I even consider evolution as a Christian, and what about dinosaurs where do they fit into all this? Can I be sure about God? Can I rely on what is written down in the Bible, after all a lot seems to rest on what it says. Were Adam and Eve real and if so did they commit incest with their children? What was it that made Jesus more special than you or me or Joe and Jane from down the road? Are heaven and hell a figment of our collective imaginations? There are lots of questions but are there any reasonable answers?

In bringing together the research of many scholars from both Christian and secular sources, these and many other questions have been addressed making The Transparent Truth a treatise of God's plan for humankind. Step by step the reliability of scripture is affirmed, and not so well known truths are revealed, providing a solid fact based grounding in the Christian faith.

The Transparent Truth will be of help to Christian believers and those who aren't sure about the whole God thing yet! It is underpinned by scholarly theological, historical & archaeological research to help readers realise science is not an enemy of faith, but an invaluable tool in a world of increasing complexity and scrutiny. The Transparent Truth offers a springboard to understanding Christianity more clearly, providing comprehensive endnote links and references to relevant research and scripture so you, the reader, can explore further and delve more deeply.
