Book Description

Understanding the Existence of God is the third in the trilogy of Understanding books by Dr. John Weekes. The first in the series was Understanding the Doctrine of the Trinity 1998, followed by Understanding Forgiveness 2002. With the Existence of God, the trilogy is complete and it is the hope that these three books will do much to shed light on the often dark corridors of doubt, controversy and misunderstanding with regard to God's Existence. The Trinity is one of those areas of theology which has driven deep and lasting division within the heart of the body of Christ. It is a field that defies enlightenment save by those in whose heart and over whose understanding the Holy Spirit reigns; for the things of the Spirit must be spiritually discerned. Forgiveness on the other hand is at the very heart of pure religion, since it is that which illuminates Christians as truly the children of God. In Understanding the existence of God the author has drawn on many reservoirs and lifted water from many streams; but the ultimate authority for his thesis is God's infallible word. The method used is in essence adversarial and critical, written in a simple everyday, matter of fact, common sense style. In so far as the case for God has been put, it is submitted that it has been established with absolute certainty supported not only by words spoken with the very breath of God Himself, but by a cloud of impeccable and unimpeachable witnesses.
