It discussed the topic from a scientific point of view, aimed for children.

In elementary school (maybe 3rd or 4th grade) once I’ve got a book about the life of Jesus Christ and I was pretty fascinated with it. So you see, this book is well up my alley and though I’m not religious myself, I was always interested in how it worked, how it affected people and why humanity always needed something supernatural to hold on to. I have a BA degree in History and an MA degree in History of Religions. Also I needed a break from my schedule which was about getting a bit overwhelming.Ī little bit of background information about me, before I start raving about how awesome this book is. I’ve read this book in January, because I needed the comfort of my favorite book. But there’s no one who loves Josh more-except maybe “Maggie,” Mary of Magdala-and Biff isn’t about to let his extraordinary pal suffer and ascend without a fight.

Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Savior’s pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. (For what is curiosity if not intellectual temptation? And what progress is there without curiosity?) On the other hand, can you call such a profound weakness a gift, or is it a design flaw? Is temptation itself at fault for man’s woes, or is it simply the lack of judgment in response to temptation? In other words, who is to blame? Mankind, or a bad designer?” Blurb If progress is a virtue then this is our greatest gift. “Mankind, I suppose, is designed to run on – to be motivated by – temptation.
