Israel

This treatise is primarily an Old Testament Theology, but, of course, the Old Testament was the story of Israel. The last section considered Israel from the resurrection to the modern difficulties in the Middle East. It makes the case that Israel still has a vitally important contribution to the Lord's plan for the salvation of the human race, but that contribution is not currently evident in the conduct of Israel.

Science

A subculture most evident in America has become increasingly strident in its efforts to establish science as the arbiter of truth and error, and the absolute datum from which meaning and identity is derived. This treatise will show that effort to be fallacious, and establish that the world view upon which science depends is accepted arbitrarily without prior evidence that it is superior to other world views. The driving force behind that scientific initiative is need . . . need for an absolute . . . need for God.
