Truth to some may be what is seen in the natural universe. Truth to some may be what is expressed by some individual who seems to be successful or charismatic. Truth to some may be what the Bible says. Truth to some may span a complex variety of issues, and to others, to be quite simple. Websters Dictionary says to attain wisdom a person must have good sense, good judgment, insight, and knowledge. Does that limit the number of persons who can have wisdom? This search for truth and wisdom comes from the perspectives of Western culture, scientific approach, logic, reason, and monotheistic philosophies. Monotheism encompasses Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and some other lesser-known belief systems. This subject might be treated differently from the perspectives of Eastern cultures, emotion, mysticism, or more spiritual concepts and polytheistic religious philosophies. The latter perspectives are not discussed here. This work addresses some aspects of the concepts of truth. Questions are asked and answers are suggested. Original Greek scripture is referenced rather than any translation or interpretation that could have been influenced by a particular theological philosophy, organized church, church tradition, or seminary. I propose a third concept to add to Evolution and Creation, or Intelligent designthe Eternal or Forever concepteverything has simply always been and always will be. No beginning and no end. I discuss aspects of the nature of man. I discuss intelligence, intellectualism, and education. I discuss global intelligence and terrorism in the world of today. I discuss dualisms in American culture. I discuss science and our limited view in space and time. I discuss difficult or significant passages in the Bible, with emphasis on the original Greek.

Philosophy begins, Aristotle said, with wonder; it addresses the great questions of life. This process of self-discovery through philosophy leads one to ask questions not only about human existence but also about God. In Philosophy: The Quest for Truth and Meaning,Andrew Beards introduces readers to some key philosophical ideas 'the mind's ability to know truth and reality, metaphysics, ethics, and questioning life's ultimate purpose 'in order to guide them in philosophical reflection. By examining the development of philosophy, Beards demonstrates and makes a case for the interplay of faith and reason. Andrew Beards, PhD, is reader in philosophy and director of the distance-learning B.A. Philosophy and the Catholic Tradition program at Maryvale Institute, an international institute for philosophy and theology based in Birmingham, UK.

Seeking Wisdom from God presents a fresh and unique look at some Biblical topics. Because knowledge increases faster than wisdom, we have an abundance of Biblical knowledge and a shortage of Biblical wisdom. Knowledge has increased, due to our advances in understanding the ancient Hebrew and Greek languages coupled with the dissecting of Scripture using historical, textual, and literary analysis. Tragically, Christianity looks nothing like its inception on the Day of Pentecost.  Why are there over 20,000 different denominations?  Why do I still sin daily?  Have we replaced Divine Illumination with historical, literary and textual analysis?  If Adam had not sinned, the world's population would have reached 100 billion in 1,836 years. How are we all going to fit on this planet when eternity begins?  Why did God plant a fruit-yielding tree in Eden and then forbid Adam and Eve from eating of its fruit? "This was a very good book by a man of great wisdom" Five Stars, LibraryThing Reviewer "It's such an eye opener book" Five Stars, LibraryThing Reviewer "This is an excellent book for Bible study. It brings Biblical truths into a new perspective" Five Stars, LibraryThing Reviewer "a marvelous fusion of faith and scholarship" -- First Editing

The purpose of the Pursuit of Wisdom is the search for transcendent truth, in order to find goodness/ justice, and perfect beauty. Faith and Reason are also essential especially when somethings is not fathomable. The end objective of all wisdom is to find Perfect Love. Reviewed By Rabia Tanveer for Readers' Favorite Review Rating: 5-Stars - Congratulations on your 5-star review! Pursuit of Wisdom by Robert T. Fertig is a book about finding the truth in everything that surrounds us. We all want acceptance and unconditional love; we crave it and it is in our most basic nature. However, we are also curious by nature, which is the reason why we need to know and understand the meaning behind the most common things in life. From understanding the "truth" of cultural change, climate change and even how or if we can live together as a community, these are the questions that we ask ourselves every day. The author talks about how these truths are important, how they are necessary for us to build a community, build trust and understand what it takes to accept every human being as a valuable addition to the community. The author shares his thoughts about his general understanding of what truth is, what is goodness, what exactly is justice and how every basic need of humans comes down to finding the most objective answer to their questions. Everything has a "truth" and if you understand that, you can understand everything else. This is the beginning of an awakening that the author believes every reader should have. I have immense respect for the author for conveying such a complicated idea in such a simple yet eloquent way. He had control over the narrative, he had a flow in mind and he executed it perfectly. I enjoyed the fact that the author didn't force anything on the reader; he just laid out his ideas and his thoughts on the pages and gave it to the reader to make whatever they want with it. This is enlightening and educational at the same time.

Wisdom seekers are searching for Truth, Knowledge, Justice, Beauty, and Love. We constantly encounter "raw data and sound bites," which is meaningless, unintelligent information without much truth or knowledge. The actual purpose of Wisdom is the Pursuit of Transcendent truths, whereby we hope to find Goodness, Justice, and Beauty. In our Pursuit, Faith and Reason is essential, especially when we do not fully understand society, nor the physical universe. The end objective of All Wisdom is finding Perfect Love. Can we really speak of, and defend, "Universal Human Rights," in a cultural climate in which the very idea of "truth" is under sustained assault? Culture battles are ongoing debates-a continuing struggle- between those who believe that human beings can, however inadequately, grasp the truth of how we ought to live together, and those for whom any notion of faith and "transcendent truth" involves an unacceptable imposition of someone's values on someone else. Nevertheless, Truth never changes!

From the vantage point of eighty years, a highly regarded scientist and theologian surveys the full spectrum of critical issues between science and theologyJohn Polkinghorne, an international figure known both for his contributions to the field of theoretical elementary particle physics and for his work as a theologian, has over the years filled a bookshelf with writings devoted to specific topics in science and religion. In this new book, he undertakes for the first time a survey of all the major issues at the intersection of science and religion, concentrating on what he considers the essential insights for each. Clearly and without assuming prior knowledge, he addresses causality, cosmology, evolution, consciousness, natural theology, divine providence, revelation, and scripture. Each chapter also provides references to his other books in which more detailed treatments of specific issues can be found.For those who are new to what Polkinghorne calls "one of the most significant interdisciplinary interactions of our time," this volume serves as an excellent introduction. For readers already familiar with John Polkinghorne's books, this latest is a welcome reminder of the breadth of his thought and the subtlety of his approach in the quest for truthful understanding.
