The Word of the Lord: Philosophy 320

PHILOSOPHY 320 -THE WORD OF THE LORD This book presents a serious study of a serious subject. Throughout history many church leaders and wise men have introduced new interpretations of earlier holy decrees. Among the reformers were Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, Lao-Tse, Luther Confucius, Gandhi and Smith. All of them led their followers in new directions and sometimes caused them to break away from their original religion. The Word of the Lord is a philosophical study leading to an up-dated version of ancient laws which can help you to choose your own path. Life is far more complex and difficult in 2010 than it was back in 1910 or 910. We will help you to understand today's mores and outlooks and assist, if you decide to adjust or modify some ideas and behaviour so that you can operate more efficiently in the 21st century. We will tell you about the program of studies and training that Beverley Fletcher underwent to prepare her to understand ancient holy decrees and to comprehend 21st century revisions that she found worth examining. You can read the record of her participation in discussions and debates and you can answer the same questions that she was asked. That process should help you to understand and deal with the current confrontations between theology and science in order to evaluate your own position and decide what your reactions should be. This book is not to be read just for the fun of it. Its purpose is to help you to become smarter, wiser and happier than you are now. It will help you to clarify some matters that are hard to understand and assist you in deciding future directions and activities. During that process you may feel that we are critical of some of your favourite mind-sets. It may be an example of 'no pain - no gain' so hang tough; in the end you will be glad you read it. In fact, you might find The Word of the Lord to be the most important and helpful book you have ever read.
