The story of the Second Temple is long and complex. Built by the returning exiles from Babylon, extensively expanded by Herod, and destroyed by the Romans, its story involves science, history, politics, and geography. Who were the master builders who designed and constructed the Temple, and how did they accomplish their monumental job? Using classical and biblical sources, the author surveys architectural and engineering technology during this period. Almost 200 illustrations, maps, floor plans, and diagrams teach the reader about the tools and techniques available to Herod's engineers as well as the challenges they faced. The book pays close attention to historical developments. Background is given on the history of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, from Solomon's Temple to the Babylonian Exile and down to the splendor of King Herod. Finally, we see the revolt against Rome in 66 C.E., the long siege of Jerusalem, the breaching of the walls of Herod's Temple, and its eventual destruction.

Our technology shapes the way we live, interact, work, play, and even worship. Technology and its power are both old and new—as is the wisdom we need to envision, design, build, and use it well. For Christians passionate about developing technology, it's not always clear how their faith and work intersect. How can designing and using technology actually be a way of loving God and our neighbors? Veteran engineers and teachers Ethan Brue, Derek Schuurman, and Steve VanderLeest provide a field guide for fellow explorers working with technology. Using numerous case studies, historical examples, and personal stories, they explore issues such as: biblical themes and passages that relate to technology the ethics and norms involved in technology design how engineering and technology tap into human dreams for a better world Along the way they acknowledge the challenges arising from technology but also point to the wonderful possibilities it offers us and its ability to contribute to the common good. For Christians studying and working in engineering, computer science, technical design, architecture, and related fields, this book is packed with wisdom and practical guidance. By sharing what they have learned, the authors encourage readers to ask harder questions, aspire to more noble purposes, and live a life consistent with their faith as they engage with technology.

Over the years I have had conversations with my engineer friends about Christianity in general and the creation story in particular. Of course, many are believers in the conventional deep time and evolution scenario of natural history. Usual opportunities for discussion of this subject were not long enough to adequately explain a rational basis for belief in a literal view of the Bible story. Conversations tended therefore to focus on typical "gotcha" type evidence for either viewpoint. I have often wished for a book that would present the Genesis scenario in the manner that I think would appeal to my engineer friends. Since retiring I have written this attempt at such a book. This book is written for those of a somewhat analytical bent who find the good news that Christianity presents to be appealing. Some such people are, however, troubled by the thought that by believing the biblical story they would be joining the company of gullible and irrational people. They are troubled by the claims of some scientists, which are often made with assurances of great certainty, that the biblical story with its miraculous events cannot be true. In particular, the Genesis story is claimed to be a false version of natural history. A goal of this book is to show that such claims of certainty that the biblical story is untrue are the result of an inflated and unwarranted view of what science has been able to establish as truth, especially in the arena of natural history. Such people of analytical bent can indeed believe the good news the Bible brings without abandoning their God-given ability to think clearly.

Has science proven that the Bible is an archaic artifact and that Darwin revealed the origin of life? Not so. In fact, recent developments in a wide range of sciences such as physics, astronomy, archaeology, and human genome DNA studies continue to reveal that what the Bible has been saying all along—and all alone—is exactly correct. As scientific discoveries have been exploding over the last several decades, the evidence supporting the Bible and the Christian faith is exploding right in step with these new findings. The closer science draws to the ultimate truth, the closer it draws to the Bible and to revealing just how correct the Bible is concerning the origin of the universe, life, and the historicity of Jesus Christ. In Confidence in Christ, author and engineer Mike Bradfield starts at the beginning of time and proceeds chronologically, pointing out exciting scientific evidence to support the Christian faith. The easy-to-understand format addresses a number of questions: • How did the universe begin? • Does the big bang theory eliminate God? • Did God really create the entire universe in six literal days? • How did life begin? • How do dinosaurs fit in the biblical timescale? • Did we evolve from apes, and what are human genome studies revealing? • Is humankind millions or thousands of years old? • Is there credible evidence outside the Bible for Jesus? • Is Jesus really the prophesied Christ? The eye-opening evidence in Confidence in Christ should cause you to pause, rethink, and reaffirm your views of the validity of the Christian faith.

In less than three months, I will be ninety years old. Because of my excellent health, the only long-term prescribed medication I have ever taken is eye drops. My dear wife and I raised four great children, and I have impressive engineering career credentials and extensive private pilot experience. Ironically, I narrowly missed becoming an MD. I also narrowly missed becoming the first man on the moon. Read this book. It tells how my moon miss was by two centimeters. This is my third published pro-Christian book. The following are my motivations for writing all three of these books.: For book one, I wanted to tell the world about my lovely wife of sixty-two and a half years, Jane. For book two, I express my engineering experience in rocket engines and how very expansive space travel can be. For book three, I express three points of view. First, how critical Christian life motivations are from youth on. Second, I talk about Lady Jane and my delight in our lovely Australian friends and their wonderful nation. Third, I discuss the issues of being a Christian and dealing with non-Christians.

Most books on the subject of evolution are written with the intention of convincing the reader of a particular position, either for or against evolution. In contrast, this book attempts to provide an objective view of the science, including the strengths and weaknesses of each of the major areas of research. Both creationist and evolutionist positions on the science are presented to allow the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. The discussion of the science behind evolution is placed in the broader context of Christian views of how science and the Bible interrelate. This book is for those who feel that they don't fit neatly into the creationism or evolution camps, and are looking for a balanced view of the science, what it says and doesn't say about the origin and diversity of life on earth. This is not a book about the history of the creationism/evolution debate and it contains no discussion about which scientists championed which ideas, what movements came and went, and the various court cases that have addressed evolution. This book focuses on the current state of scientific knowledge, and presents some ways in which the facts and Biblical descriptions might fit together.

The series of studies in this book came about as a result of a concern to see Gods people equipped to implement his purposes in the area in which they live. Not everyone has the opportunity to study full-time, and these studies are flexible enough to be useful either as a study guide or as a reference book. They were originally written to train Christians in the local church situation and have now been revised and reformatted in order to provide an accessible introduction to Christian doctrine and other matters for all who wish to study but cannot attend a bible college. The various chapters will enable the student to approach the Bible in such a way as to have a proper understanding of the text and the truth that it reveals to us. There is an introduction to the historical situations of the biblical period and their relationship to the world of that time. Space is also given to summarizing the content of each biblical book in order to provide an overview, helping you to see the big picture. In each study of a particular doctrine, the emphasis is on what the Bible teaches and the place of a personal God with whom we can have a living relationship through Jesus Christ his Son. Each chapter is complete in itself and is written in plain English, with technical terms explained where necessary. They provide a foundation upon which the student can build to whatever level is appropriate.
