The Book on the Shelf (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798385047178)

There it sits-the oldest book in history and number one best seller, the Bible. Yet it goes unopened and unread. Why? What's in the Bible that makes so many so nervous, even fearful?

In The Book on the Shelf, author Robert L. Hilton offers some reasons. He:

touches on natural selection and evolution world views versus creationism;
includes narrative on random selection versus intelligent design;
examines the archaeologic study of Israel and the ancient Middle East;
explores the idea that we live in an imperfect world and how that imperfection originated;
dives into the origins of the Old Testament and the key people found in its pages, as well as the New Testament and the key people in its pages;
explores the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth;
discusses who Jesus was-and who he says he was-in detail.
covers social issues such as humankind's specific tendencies ranging from pride to sexual immorality; and
looks at other topics affecting the modern church.

Hilton closes with a call to action to pull the book off the shelf, read it, study it, and discover its life-changing ability.
