Facing the End

<p>The end of the world and the Second Coming of Christ followed by the Last Judgement are not a popular subject particularly among those who have little time for religion anyway. Like Christianity itself mention of it often meets with ridicule at best apathy. Religious enthusiasts (or some of them) have after all been declaring the End to be imminent for the past two thousand years.</p><p>But the issues the dilemmas which the world currently faces are of a particularly intractable nature. Do they signify that the human race is nearing the end of its viability as a species within the Earthly context in the culmination of an inevitable historical process; and that it is time to be open<strong>-</strong>minded about the claims of the Bible about things we may have previously dismissed as irrelevant quirky or offensive?</p><p>In <em>Rediscovering God </em>Guy Blythman set out to show that religious belief was neither incompatible with science nor in some way morally wrong. Now he is exploring the ultimate consequences of that in a book which may not be comfortable reading yet whose arguments he believes cannot be dismissed out of hand. Meet the challenge it presents if you dare.</p><p> </p><p>Guy Blythman is the author of <em>Rediscovering God </em>and <em>Philosophy: A View From The Edge. </em></p>
