Description:Is it possible to reconcile Christian beliefs with 21st century knowledge? Can we make a spiritual connection with God? What should we know about creation, evolution, hell, and heaven? Who was Jesus and why was he successful? How relevant are 21st century Christian values?For the first several centuries after the death of Jesus church elders struggled to define the system of beliefs that would become Christian theology. Their work was framed by contemporary superstitions, cultural norms, established philosophies, competing religions, and emergent science. They selected, edited, and published the books of the Bible, developed theological doctrine, and established formal religions. Working with contemporary political leaders, they characterized the ministry of Jesus Christ according to their institutional objectives and their understanding of the world in which they lived.That was almost 2,000 years ago. Although there have been many changes within the institutions of Christianity, the foundation of beliefs created by these elders have endured into this century.Therein rests the problem. We humans yearn for the spiritual. Meditation and prayer allow us to experience the divine. We seek a transcendent interpretation of our physical and supernatural ecosystem. But Christian tradition conflicts with contemporary knowledge. Although the message of Jesus Christ is both ageless and divine, there is an obvious confusion of expression. The solution is to validate the key subjects and beliefs of Christianity in 21st century terms. We must go back to the roots of Christian doctrine: the essential message of Jesus Christ. Christian theology must combine the revelation of God’s wisdom with 21st century human knowledge.Summa 21 explores the philosophical subjects of truth, reality, alternative dimensions, multiple universes, the relationship of science and theology, our quest to understand the nature of God, and how we make a conscious connection with the spiritual. Summa 21 examines our traditional beliefs about evolution, creation, hell, and heaven; concludes our popular beliefs are illogical; and presents several concepts to align our ideas with existing knowledge. Summa 21 discusses several contemporary questions about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, and provides a comprehensive description of 21st century Christian values. The issues and questions are tackled head-on, without reservation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
