THE JOURNEY OF GOD CHRISTIANITY IN SIX MOVEMENTS

Philosophy and religion professor J. D. Lyonhart invites us on an epic journey through the narrative of the Bible and the history of everything. He presents the whole Christian story in six movements, Creation to End, creatively showing how each piece fits together to reveal who God is and address the deepest questions of the human heart. Weaving in philosophy, science, history, comedy, drama, and more, he explores topics such as: • Does science challenge faith? • Why do humans have so much capacity for good and for messing things up? • Is there objective right and wrong, and who decides? • Why did Jesus have to die? • What’s the point of the church when so many people have been hurt by it? • Do all religions teach the same basic things? This is a journey that calls for reason, wonder, humor, and self-reflection. Whether you’re a seeker, skeptic, or seasoned believer, The Journey of God will challenge you to see the Christian faith—and your own story— in new ways.
“J. D. retells the entire biblical story with fresh insight, cinematic expression, and a plea to behold the beauty embedded in the broken, the dignity shrouded by despair, and the hope beheld by God ‘in the beginning’ that guides us to his end. The Journey of God is a powerful and provocative read for the seeker and the saved alike.” Shane J. Wood, professor at Ozark Christian College and author of Thinning the Veil “This journey is an invitation to enter a story, a story of being lost and finding home in the Christian story. Dialogue partners from all disciplines abound (e.g., philosophy, science, theology, and modern film) to instruct and inspire you.” Jennifer M. Matheny, associate professor of Christian scriptures at the George W. Truett Theological Seminary at Baylor University
