A scientist and author combines scientific research and biblical study to present a new paradigm of how to understand God.

This “brilliant” book by an M.I.T. trained physicist “demands the attention of anyone who wonders if God must be exiled from the modern, enlightened mind” (David J. Wolpe, author of Why Faith Matters). In his first book since 2002’s acclaimed The Hidden Face of God, popular scientist Gerald Schroeder combines decades of scientific research and biblical study to present a groundbreaking new theory of how to understand God. With riveting chapters on the origins of life, a scientist’s view of creation, and the unique place of our planet in the galaxy, God According to God offers a radical paradigm shift that will forever change how we comprehend God. “This is as important a book on this subject as I recall ever having read.” —Huston Smith, author of The World’s Religions

In Defense of God Renowned scientist Gerald L. Schroeder combines decades of scientific research and biblical study to present a groundbreaking new paradigm of how to understand God.

"He was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5 Often hailed as one of the greatest chapters in the Bible, the prophecy of the suffering servant in Isaiah 53 foretells the crucifixion of Jesus, the central event in God's ultimate plan to redeem the world. This book explains the prophetic words of Isaiah 53 verse by verse, highlighting important connections to the history of Israel and to the New Testament—ultimately showing us how this ancient prophecy illuminates essential truths that undergird our lives today.

Concise, pithy chapters with dozens of charts, highlighted summaries and study questions make Graeme Goldsworthy's introductory text enormously useful for understanding how the Bible fits together as the unfolding story of God's plan for salvation.

The author approaches this topic to boldly equip you to experience God's absolute best for your life--whether you're married or single--by understanding and obeying His will regarding sex.

Christian perfection consists in the twofold way of charity: service of neighbor and our direct quest for God's love. Many of us discover ways to love our neighbor, but few achieve intimacy with God. Why? Because we don't know how to prepare ourselves properly to reach this exalted goal. In these pages, Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen lays out for us a time-tested path toward achieving complete intimacy with God, the path first mapped out centuries ago by the Church's acclaimed master of the contemplative life, St. John of the Cross (1542-1591). St. John showed that God hungers for union with each of us but also requires arduous efforts on our part, the many details of which Father Gabriel explains in these enlightening pages. Do you perceive holiness as an unattainable goal for you? Or is fear of the fatigue of such an effort holding you back? Absorb this book, and allow gentle St. John to take you by the hand and lead you — as he has led so many others — to true intimacy with our Lord.
