What IF... Studies: Inspired by Faith and Science
Who am I?
Follow my IFS BLOG to see what I'm working on...
I am a Catholic, Methodist, Church of England, Free Evangelical, Presbyterian (USA), Christian reformed Christian, so maybe I should just call myself a mongrel. But I am a very committed Christian. I'm also a rather well-qualified mathematician, with a particular interest in mathematical astronomy. I like science. I like history. And I sincerely believe God speaks to us through them both as well as through the Bible. If any of the three seem to disagree with each other, I'm convinced we need to look more closely at them all.
The aim of my Bible Studies:
To keep the emphasis on the Bible. To remember God’s word is always more important than my interpretation.
To be ready to encourage people to read the Bible and hear God’s word, rather than risk them rejecting what God says because of man’s word. My interpretation may be valuable to me, but it’s God’s word that might make a difference to my neighbor.
To know what the Bible says, even if it’s not what I think it ought to say.
