Time Philosophy

One Possible Happening and A Perfect Reason are companion books that deal with the existence and nature of God. Each book is available separately, but are printed together in this combination edition. The first edition is One Possible Happening, which is a short introduction to using philosophical logic to consider the existence of God. It explores the subject three classical ways; by logical reason, sacred reason, and faith in the Bible. For readers who are new to logical reasoning, there are a number of philosophical abstractions which are explained. Some of these terms can be obscure and...

This book, more or less, demonstrates that time is most likely an illusion, its speed depends on age, and from a physical point of view, time, as such, may not make sense. Why should all this matter to us? Just as people suffered and died, they will continue to suffer and die. I have nothing to say to that. It’s true. And nothing can be done about it.

How can we function as sophisticated emotional beings when we can neither understand nor control our emotions? Why do the very things that make us human cause us to feel ill at ease in our humanity? Why are we unable even to explain what it feels like to be alive? Were we made so imperfectly? No, of course not, it’s just that no-one ever explained to us the human condition. But with nature seeking to protect the life we bear and humankind passionately wanting to live it and survive, are not we and nature really on the same side? Yes, we are.

John Locke's theory of toleration is generally seen as advocating the privatization of religion. This interpretation has become conventional wisdom: secularization is widely understood as entailing the privatization of religion, and the separation of religion from power. This audiobook turns that conventional wisdom on its head and argues that Locke secularizes religion, that is, makes it worldly, public, and political. In the name of diverse citizenship, Locke reconstructs religion as persuasion, speech, and fashion.

Ultimately, this two-volume series is as much a political-moral teaching as it is a presentation of the details of the West's wonderful (and sometimes tragic) historical record.

The college classroom is inevitably influenced by, and in turn influences, the world around it. In the United States, this means the complex topic of race can come into play in ways that are both explicit and implicit. Teaching Race in Perilous Times highlights and confronts the challenges of teaching race in the United States—from syllabus development and pedagogical strategies to accreditation and curricular reform.

The real nature of time is still a mystery, even after thousands of years of philosophers and scientists analyzing it and proposing theories about it. Prophecy has existed for most of humanity’s time on Earth, and there is a lot of reason to think that seeing the future does reveal some of what happens and is about to happen. I also wrote two books on this subject, including the history of prophecy and my own experiences.

An essay that presents theories of time and healing.

Seeing my car keys, I was going to drive off a cliff. The next morning I awoke and was scared by what I had felt. At that point I begged God for something to change.
