by John Warwick Montgomery (Author)
From the author's Introduction: As this book's subtitle has it, it's a ""potpourri."" That expression can be defined as ""a mixture of dried petals and spices placed in a bowl to perfume a room."" But, having just published--at New Reformation Press--a little culinary masterpiece (A Gastronomic Vade-Mecum), I am thinking in terms of the secondary definition: ""an unusual or interesting mixture of ingredients."" Either way, you will surely enjoy this collection of essays. They are unusual and interesting--and they will perfume your thinking as to ultimate issues. A sampling of essays in the present collection: - Resurrection and Legal Evidence - Did Jesus Physically Rise from the Dead? - Chronological Contradictions in the Gospels? - A More Consistent Application of Literary ""Higher Criticism"" - A Short and Easie Method with Postmodernists - Law & Morality: Friends or Foes? - Demon Possession: A Brief Commentary - Transhumanism? - Muslims As Two-Faced - The Stereotypic Clergyman - On Innovative Theologians - Racism in American Lutheranism - Do Christian Children lose Contact with Reality? - Those Who Have Not Heard the Gospel: A Construct - Terrorism and Revolution: Are They Ever Justified? Professor Montgomery, who is an American, British, and French citizen and who resides in Strasbourg, France, is a polymath, the author of more than 60 books in 5 languages, and a world-renowned defender of classic Christian faith. His credentials include: - Ph.D. (U. Chicago), D.Theol. (U. Strasbourg, France), LL.D. (Cardiff U., Wales), plus 8 other academic degrees. - Professor Emeritus of Law and Humanities, University of Bedfordshire (U.K.); Distinguished Professor-at-Large, 1517: The Legacy Project (California, U.S.A.); Director, International Academy of Apologetics, Evangelism and Human Rights (Strasbourg, France). - Barrister-at-Law (England and Wales); Avocat a la Cour (Paris); Member of the California, District of Columbia, Virginia, and Washington State bars, and the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States; Certified Fraud Examiner. - Honorary Chairman, Academic Board, International Institute for Religious Freedom, World Evangelical Fellowship.
