The God-Shaped Mind: How Your Brain Was Built for Eternity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181889811)

What if your brain was not an accident-but a blueprint?

Every morning, you wake into a consciousness so complex that the world's most powerful computers cannot replicate it. You remember yesterday. You anticipate tomorrow. You feel the weight of regret, the lift of hope, the strange ache of beauty. You inhabit time in a way no other creature quite does-and you have almost certainly never stopped to ask why.

The God-Shaped Mind answers that question with a case that is at once scientifically rigorous, philosophically rich, and spiritually electrifying: the architecture of human consciousness is not the result of blind evolutionary pressure. It is a design. And the designer left his signature everywhere.

Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, two thousand years of philosophical tradition, and the depths of Christian theology, this book traces a single breathtaking argument across eighteen chapters: your memory, your attention, your capacity for hope, your experience of time itself-these are not merely biological functions. They are the equipment of a creature made for relationship with God.
