EVOLUTION OF GOD: How the Christ-like God Revealed Himself to Mankind

This is a book about God, a particular and specific vision and version of God: the Christian God. This is more like an apologetic or "explanation" book than a scientific study, though every relevant field of science has been diligently searched for the evidence, clues or insight related to the central premise. That central theme is contained in a verse in the Christian Bible: "On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets. But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son." (Hebrews 1:1) This is the simple proclamation of Christianity: God was revealed, fully and clearly, in Jesus Christ. In the centuries and millennia in the past God exposed and unveiled bits and pieces of Himself as the human mind developed and was able to grasp new ideas about the unseen world of the spirit.

Grandma Moses began her amazing art career at age 78, producing over 400 valuable oil paintings of Americana, starting late but finishing strong. Our author is following in her path, writing his first book at age 80: late, but on time. Asked why he waited so long to write this book he simply answered "It wasn't ready." Clearly, for years he has thought long and deep about the intersection of science and religion. He is a lifelong and avid student of nearly everything, tracing his developing ideas through anthropology, archeology, paleontology, neurology, human development, psychology and philosophy, among others. He has been a commercial artist, pastor, social worker, state supervisor and nearly 20 years at the University of Kentucky as Assistant Dean in the College of Social Work. He attended seminary at Anderson College in Indiana, received the Master of Social Work degree in Kentucky, and pursued the doctorate of Education (Ed.D) at the University of Kentucky.
