Book excerpt: Michael Crichton introduced us to the world of biotechnology and medical fiction. S. W. Cotton now invites us to join him on a forensic investigation into the nature of time. A tale of intrigue and scientific speculation ushers us into a mindscape of competing theories to explain the inexplicable.Dr. Syed Azad, Egyptologist, is presented with an ancient Egyptian tablet bearing a modern equation from quantum mechanics. He enlists the aid of his American colleague, Stanford physicists Jake Banner, to assist in the investigation. Dr. Linda Cooper, a molecular biologist, joins in the hunt, and together they embark on an incredible journey that challenges their worldview, forcing them to imagine alternative realities.As the trio of scientists uncover future developments in genetics, cosmology, and physics they come to a startling realization: Past, present, and future may be inextricably interwoven in a matrix that defies conventional explanation. Have they stumbled upon an artifact from another reality, transported across interdimensional spacetime and captured in our present? One intriguing possibility after another confronts the scientists as they grapple with the startling implications of their find.Their investigation takes them into the underbelly of Egypt as they search for clues to untangle a deepening mystery. They encounter a nefarious character purporting to have additional artifacts that may shed light on their discovery. Should they take the risk or forego the opportunity to gain further knowledge? Deciding to pursue their investigation and face the consequences, they forge ahead; determined not to rest until they have found the ultimate answers, and discover the true nature of reality.Reviewed By Maria Victoria Beltran for Readers' FavoriteReview Rating: 5 StarsPredestination: The Future is History by S. W. Cotton is a science fiction novel that questions our general perception of time. When Dr. Syed Azad, an Egyptologist, is presented with ancient Egyptian tablets that bear a modern equation of quantum mechanics, he calls Stanford physicist Jake Banner to help investigate the mysterious find. He in turn invites molecular biologist Linda Cooper, and the trio meets in Cairo. This team of scientists eventually finds out that the tablets indicate that our past, present, and future are interwoven in a matrix in such a way that it defies conventional explanation. A mysterious character claims to have more archaeological finds that could help them untangle the mystery and they have to decide whether to continue their investigation and make it public and, in so doing, challenge scientific norms.S.W. Cotton's Predestination: The Future is History is a science fiction novel that is both intriguing and informative. Using a language that ordinary mortals can understand, the author effectively connects with his target audience. The concept of time is intimidating to many readers but it is to S. W. Cotton's credit that his novel does not confuse or alienate the general reader. The characters are also very likable, and not intimidating, which is how scientists normally relate to average human beings. And as he takes us into the underbelly of Egypt and we become entangled in the mystery of this discovery, Predestination: The Future is History becomes one of those books that you want to finish as soon as you can. And in the end, you won't be disappointed.About the AuthorS. W. Cotton has completed extensive work integrating the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. His explorations into the nature of time have led him to consider the possibility that our naive notion of linear history is suspect. Taking various approaches from philosophy, physics, and cosmology he is currently developing an alternative view of reality that incorporates different aspects of spacetime, multidimensional analysis, and temporal causality.

Book excerpt: The development of Afrocentric historical writing is explored in this study which traces this recording of history from the Hellenistic-Roman period to the 19th century. Afrocentric writers are depicted as searching for the unique primary source of "culture" from one period to the next. Such passing on of cultural traits from the "ancient model" from the classical period to the origin of culture in Egypt and Africa is shown as being a product purely of creative history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science fiction is a literary genre based on scientific speculation. Works of science fiction use the ideas and the vocabulary of all sciences to create valid narratives that explore the future effects of science on events and human beings. Science Fact and Science Fiction examines in one volume how science has propelled science-fiction and, to a lesser extent, how science fiction has influenced the sciences. Although coverage will discuss the science behind the fiction from the Classical Age to the present, focus is naturally on the 19th century to the present, when the Industrial Revolution and spectacular progress in science and technology triggered an influx of science-fiction works speculating on the future. As scientific developments alter expectations for the future, the literature absorbs, uses, and adapts such contextual visions. The goal of the Encyclopedia is not to present a catalog of sciences and their application in literary fiction, but rather to study the ongoing flow and counterflow of influences, including how fictional representations of science affect how we view its practice and disciplines. Although the main focus is on literature, other forms of science fiction, including film and video games, are explored and, because science is an international matter, works from non-English speaking countries are discussed as needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timo Eskola presents a new way of understanding Paul’s soteriology as a theology of predestination: God has cosigned all people to sin and condemnation. There is no basic dualism between the good and the bad. Since everybody needs salvation, the atonement of Christ is proof of God’s ultimate faithfulness.

Download Predestination PDF Full Free by Greg Kame and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of predestination is an important starting point for the study of Christian theology thought from a Reformed theological perspective. This doctrine is essential because it is one of the central themes from the Bible that has been the reason for many debates among many theologians in the history of the church. Despite the different views held by mainline Protestant theologians like Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Jacobus Arminus, this book points to Scripture as the basis for Reformed soteriology. It uses the tools of biblical interpretation to show how the entire Bible addresses the doctrine of predestination so that theology students, pastors, Bible teachers, and anyone interested in Christian theology will better understand predestination from a Reformed perspective toward an effective ministry today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his new work The Sovereignty of God in Salvation E. Earle Ellis sets out to explore God's sovereign purpose both in individual salvation and in the salvation history within which the Bible has been authored, transmitted, interpreted and communicated. In the process he touches on such themes as the nature of free will; the manifestation God's sovereignty in the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul; the presence of God's hand in the transmission and interpretation of the biblical texts; and new perspectives on both the modern inclination to emphasise Paul's use of Graeco-Roman rhetoric as well as the contemporary reception of the biblical message. The sovereignty of God forms an overarching theme throughout.

Download The Predestination of Humans PDF Full Free by Cornelius Jansen and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2022-02-18 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other theological text polarized the early modern Catholic world as much as Cornelius Jansen's Augustinus. In it the erudite bishop not only reconstructed St. Augustine's teaching on grace and free will, but also boldly claimed that his views were in line with the Council of Trent and the Society of Jesus. For Jansen the latter had marginalized the Church Father's doctrine on divine predestination by overemphasizing human free will. Published after his death in 1640, Jansen's work drew a large crowd of followers and inspired an Augustinian reform movement. Its papal condemnation unintentionally spread this theology, but stifled an impassionate, academic engagement with the Augustinus. This first-ever translation of some of its central chapters enables historians, philosophers and theologians to finally engage with the founding text of Jansenism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The King James Version has proved itself for 400 years. The greatest translators in history translated it. A king directed them to translate it into English reproducing the original language of God's Word as close as possible. One must use a literal translation. My review suggests only three qualify: The King James Version, English Standard Version, and the New Revised Standard Version. The Dynamic Equivalent translations are not recommended because they omit or add words to God's original Words. . "First things" are put first with a technique of presenting God's Word to an individual who has never heard the name of Jesus. . The best criteria for selecting a Bible translation are outlined including a back-up Bible. . "Five bits of knowledge" needed for Bible study are given. . The spirituality of the translators including Wycliffe and Tyndale are noted. The King James Bible used today is the 1769 edition by Blayney. . Over 50 martyrs who died for God's Word are reviewed. . One of the greatest military battles for the preservation of God's Word is reviewed in detail. There have been no manuscript discoveries that change the doctrine of the King James Bible."
