ReviewsJohn Paul II was one of the most significant witnesses to the gospel of Jesus Christ in recent times and a teacher of the church whose influence will extend far into the future. Here prominent evangelical thinkers assess his legacy with insight and appreciation through an engagement with the major encyclicals of his papacy. This is an outstanding collection of essays that bears witness to the vitality of both Roman Catholic and evangelical thought in service to our common Lord., . . . Dramatically enhances the global enterprise of interpretation of John Paul II. A great gift to clergy, ecumenists, scholars, and advanced students, the book sheds new light on an unforgettable doctor of the church., . . . Sheds the light of evangelical theological scholarship on John Paul?s efforts to remind the world that human beings can indeed grasp the truth of things, including the moral truths of things., A remarkable book. At one and the same time, it is an excellent guide both to the religious and ethical thought of this highly influential pope and to the growing evangelical willingness to engage with it. Highly recommended., An excellent book. It shows evangelical theologians reading and drawing on John Paul's philosophy and social teaching with remarkable sympathy., An excellent commentary on the thought of JP2, providing helpful perspectives, criticism, and reflection on the state of evangelical thought today. . . The book will appeal to all interested in the thought of John Paul II as well as those encouraged by the Catholic-evangelical dialogue. It should also be helpful to anyone interested in the role of the Church in the modern world and insightful summaries of some of the best arguments for a theocentric humanism., In the sixteenth century--a time when Protestants were not inclined to say nice things about Catholic leaders--the Reformer Theodore Beza addressed one of his treatises to 'the more sensible part of those who call themselves Roman Catholics.' This fine book of essays is a testimony to a Catholic pope whom many of us in the evangelical world revered, not only as a 'sensible' spiritual leader, but as someone who on various occasions and on various subjects spoke words of godly wisdom, both to us and for us., If someone were to begin a study course in Catholic teaching, they could hardly do better than a careful reading of The Legacy of John Paul II , a collection of essays by a fine roster of evangelical writers who reflect on the important encyclicals of the late Polish pope., . . . Sheds the light of evangelical theological scholarship on John Paul's efforts to remind the world that human beings can indeed grasp the truth of things, including the moral truths of things., Of the many legacies of the twenty-six--year pontificate of John Paul II is the astonishing attentiveness of non-Catholics to his teaching ministry, as is demonstrated in this informative and provocative book. Such attentiveness does not always mean agreement, but it is a genuinely new thing in the world Christian movement., Vigorous, comprehensive and thoroughly evangelical, The Legacy of John Paul II makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of one of the great Christian leaders of the last century, and advances the cause of Christian unity., If someone were to begin a study course in Catholic teaching, they could hardly do better than a careful reading of The Legacy of John Paul II, a collection of essays by a fine roster of evangelical writers who reflect on the important encyclicals of the late Polish pope.

SynopsisThe papacy of John Paul II was phenomenal, and not least for the fact that many evangelicals came to honor and respect him. Tim Perry calls on some of the best evangelical minds to offer their assessments of the thought of John Paul II as expressed in his major encyclicals., The papacy of John Paul II was phenomenal, and not least for the fact that many evangelicals came to honor and respect him. Running parallel with this pope's ministry was an unprecedented level of conversation between Protestant evangelicals and Roman Catholics. In the West, at least, there was a growing sense that in a post-Christian society it was time for Christians of orthodox faith to explore their common commitments and to make common cause in the great moral and social issues of the day. Tim Perry calls on some of the best evangelical minds to offer their assessments of the thought of John Paul II as expressed in his major encyclicals., The Single Monad Model of the Cosmos or: the Days of God, is a book about Ibn Arabi's Concept of Time and Creation in Six Days. This book explores Ibn Arabi's cosmology and in particular his view of time in that cosmological context, comparing his approaches to the relevant conclusions and principles of modern physics whenever possible. Ibn Arabi had a unique and comprehensive view of time which has never been discussed by any other philosopher or scientist, before or even after Ibn Arabi. This view is based to a model of the cosmos that may deepen and extend our understanding of the world, while potentially solving some of the drawbacks and paradoxes in the current cosmological models of modern physics. This model, called the Single-Monad Model, is capable of solving many time-related paradoxes in current models of physics and cosmology, such as the famous EPR paradox, thus potentially reconciling the two great theories of 'Quantum Mechanics' and 'Relativity' in modern physics, how it offers a new understanding of the historical Zeno's paradoxes, and how it potentially explains the reason behind quantization, how quantities are either discrete or continuous. In Koran we read in many verses that Almighty Allah created the heavens and the earth in six days, and we wonder how long these days are, or are they similar to our own days, or indeed does Allah need a duration of time to create something? Also we notice that Allah, the Exalted, mentions different days of different length such as a day equal to "a thousand year of what you count" and a day equal to fifty thousand years, yet we also notice that the word "time" (zaman or zamaan) is never mentioned in Koran at all, but only as days, months and years. And finally we notice that the day is composed of two parts: the daytime and the night, but Allah, the Exalted, mentions some important relationships between these two parts of the day; for example: Allah takes (salkh) the daytime out of the night 36:37]. Allah also encircles (takwir) the daytime over the night and encircles the night over the daytime 39:5]. Allah also covers (yughshi) the daytime with the night 7:54, 13:3]. But most important of all is that Allah the Almighty intertwines (yulij) the daytime with the night and intertwines the night with the daytime 22:61, 31:29, 35:13, 57:6]. The greatest Sheikh Muhyiddin Ibn al-Arabi is the only intellectual scholar who was able to dive into the bottomless sea of these mystifying ontological issues. He was able to tie together all these verses above and other similar verses in Koran to formulate a unique cosmological model that is capable of explaining our ordinary everyday observations as well as many phenomena in physics and cosmology, and even solve some perplexing historical riddles in science and philosophy such as the EPR paradox and Zeno paradox. One of the first pearls Ibn Arabi extracted to us out of this unfathomable sea of cosmological verses in Koran is the fact that this cosmological model (we shall call the Single Monad Model) explains for the first time in history the importance of the Week as a basic unit of space and time together, since otherwise, and unlike the day or the year, the week does not seem to have any astronomical significance, as there is no any astronomical cycle that happens in one week. This prodigious theory is based on the notion of the intertwining days where Ibn Arabi shows that at every instance of time there is indeed one full week of creation that takes place in the globe. For example now it is morning somewhere and noontime in other places and evening in others, so this makes a full day. The other six days accounts for space as will be explained inside the book.
