Scientific research and religious revelation; the aim of both is to arrive at a knowledge of the whole of creation, flow can the apparent contradiction between science and faith be resolved? What are the limits of
scientific research? And where does religious faith begin? Can one come to an understanding of the meanings and usages of the ancient prophets which is equal to our understanding of the language of mathematics? This book is meant for people who are looking for satisfying and reassuring answers to these questions. In this quest the Magi from the East can help us, those who, 2000 years ago, overcoming all difficulties found him for whom they were
looking in Bethlehem. Vissza
