Jesus and Captain Kirk presents a compelling defense of Christianity, showing that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge and remain faithful to Scripture without turning their brains off, while joyfully pursuing the superior vision for social justice that the Gospel presents. Using science, philosophy, pop culture, and intellectual reasoning, Manto shows how belief in the Christian God is, in fact, entirely rational on the grounds of science and reason. Finally, he makes a passionate case that Christianity presents a holistic worldview that is far superior to anything atheism can provide. Many people have come to think of the Bible as backwards and irrelevant, but Jesus and Captain Kirk shows the opposite is true. Not only is the Bible extremely relevant, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ presents a social justice ethic far superior to modern Western society. Robust in reasoning, but respectful in tone, this book tackles such questions as: · Is the Bible still relevant today? · Does evolution disprove God? · Is there a conflict between Christianity and science? · Does the Bible really endorse slavery? · Does the Bible put women down? · Did Jesus really rise from the dead? · Is faith delusional? · Is there any evidence for God?
