As a ministry of the Academy for Christian Thought, Project Timothy is committed to investigating the implications of scientific investigations and the Bible in support of the scriptures' authority for the Christian life.
Among our investigations of extrabiblical sources, the current advances in the fields of human origins (paleoanthropology, molecular biology and genetics) and human consciousness (neuroscience, neurophilosophy and cognitive studies) directly impact our interpretation of what it means to be human from a biblical perspective in the context of what we now know about the world we live in.
Just as Polo, Copernicus, Magellan, Galileo, Newton and Einstein among many others have changed the way the Church have understood the message of the Bible, God's gifts of advancing knowledge to humanity through archaeology, geology, linguistics and history have already transformed our understanding if the scriptures.
By the grace of God, I have participated in many of these fields of inquiry and most recently, in a survey of paleoanthropology in Africa and the upcoming neuroscience conference next month. It is my privileged responsibility to share what I have learned with you, members of PT and friends of ACT.
I covet your prayers for clear thinking and integrity as I rebuild my own personal apologetic for the Christian faith in the Bible and share it with you. My goal is not to insist that you agree with all my conclusions, but that you permit me to assess and test your arguments in defense of your convictions within a theological safe space. I desire that you learn to develop your own apologetic and share in the glorious joy of knowing our Lord and God despite the centuries of doctrinal cobwebs that have come to obscure the beauty of the Gospel.
Next year, I will offer three 90-minute seminars in Canonization: How the Bible Came To Be at the American Bible Society. In the Fall, I plan to create a special intensive course in conjunction with a book I will write and publish.
In addition, we will also offer 3 seminars, Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam, with visits to the Metropolitan Museum to the respective galleries.
Please look out for these announcements at the PT facebook page.
Blessings,
Ron and the ACT Team
