What is the aim or goal of your writing: To share my world view and sense of the meaning of life, growth, relationship, and hope. To articulate the relationship between religion and social sciences, faith and science, psychology and theology, the perspectives on God's nature and behavior and human growth and function as revealed by science. To explore the linguistic, cultural, historical, anthropological, and hermeneutical factors responsible for the shaping and rise and development of ancient Judaism, early Christianity, and the roots of Western Culture, philosophy, and theology. To leave a thoughtful heritage for my children, should they care to attend to it.
