Science & Faith

“Gruning continues his delightfully playful celebration of liberation from dated orthodoxies that have constrained his active mind not only in religion but also in science. He confronts inconsistencies in Scripture, showing how biblical literalism leaves one tied in knots. He is even-handed, challenging the tendency of science to avoid areas of research which do not ‘sound scientific.’ Truly a better way to live in the present world.”

Pharaoh’s Magicians

Science & Faith

“Pharaoh's Magicians is a good example of the conclusion a serious, self-motivated student of Scripture will draw concerning the origin of human life from a straight-forward and normal reading of the Bible. Although Gregory Benoit is neither a trained theologian nor a professional scientist, by practicing the clarity of Scripture and the priority of context, he shows clearly and conclusively that the theory of evolution is not supported by the Bible and cannot be squeezed in between the lines of Scripture. . . . If literary genre is important, and studying the creation account and the rest of Genesis as a unified literary document is of significant importance (and they should be), then readers of Pharaoh's Magicians will appreciate Gregory Benoit's passionate examination and interpretation of the biblical text.”
