Publisher Description:
"I am the light of the world" (John 8:12). Jesus was not just speaking figuratively. Prophets and visionaries throughout history, as well as millions of people who have had a so-called near death experience (NDE), have consistently reported experiencing God as light - light that is qualitatively and quantitatively different from the light we ordinarily see.

Many of them, including Augustine of Hippo, Hildegard of Bingen, and Joseph Smith, have reported seeing and/or traversing a "conduit" or "tunnel" to a realm of light and love where they met a being of light (Christ), or whereby their visions have occurred.

Examining Christian faith in terms of the scientific properties of light provides answers to many of the deepest mysteries of God. It also resolves the perceived conflicts between science and religion.

For example, re-examining the biblical creation story in terms of science and the Light of Christ, it becomes clear that the first chapter of Genesis is actually a metaphor for the creation of the universe that tracks well with science's Big Bang model. Details of the physical and spiritual creations then come into sharp focus, and anachronisms disappear. Even the "fall of Adam" is explained by the science of light.

How do the properties of light reconcile science and faith? What do the NDE "tunnel," and the visionary "gateway" or "conduit" have in common with Albert Einstein's discoveries? What are consciousness and love in terms of science and the Light of Christ? Find the answers to these and many other mysteries in "Faith and Physics"

Bestselling author Joseph Callender is a retired engineer with a background in physics, math, and of course, engineering. As a yogi and an elder in his church he is also passionate about the less tangible mysteries of God. He lives in San Tan Valley, AZ and is patriarch of a clan of 19 who affectionately call him Papa Joe.
