How can Christians believe in an all-powerful, all-knowing and loving God whilst there is so much suffering in the world? Contemporary theology books refer to the problem of theodicy as a significant and unresolved problem. Engaging with theology, biblical study, physics and biology, and philosophy and producing a cohesive synthesis of these subjects, Good God offers an answer that has the potential to re-integrate Christian theology with science and philosophy for the first time since the Enlightenment. Michael Brooks writes with both academic rigour and pastoral sensitivity. As a science and medicine graduate who is also an ordained minister, he makes science and theology comprehensible to those not trained in either discipline. The book opens the reader to the notion of a wonderful creation that is so full of the miraculous that this is taken for granted. Good God provides an answer to a very important question in a way that edifies faith and offers eternal hope.Voir livre

Anaxagoras of Clazomenae, born around 500 BCE, was a pre-Socratic philosopher whose ideas bridged the gap between the earlier Milesian school and the more developed metaphysical and scientific theories of later Greek philosophy. His life and work significantly influenced subsequent thinkers, including Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Early Life and Education: Anaxagoras was born in Clazomenae, a city in Ionia, an area known for its vibrant intellectual culture. His early education exposed him to the philosophies of Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes, laying the groundwork for his own philosophical inquiries. He later moved to Athens, where he became a prominent figure in the intellectual circles of the time. Philosophical Innovations: Anaxagoras is best known for his introduction of the concept of Nous (Mind or Intellect), which he posited as the organizing principle of the cosmos. Unlike his predecessors who sought a single material principle as the origin of all things, Anaxagoras argued that the universe is governed by a rational, intelligent principle, Nous, which imparts order and structure to the chaotic flux of matter.Voir livre
