In the questioning spirit of Socrates, Dr Parkinson argues that Christianity must be true to its basic principles of truth seeking. He traces the evolution of Christian thought and belief from its earliest foundations to the present day and proposes its future evolution in the light of new scientific understanding, in particular recent discoveries in Cosmology. He addresses the question that as we are built in the image of God, how can we become closer to God and more specifically, acquire the mind of God, who made us in his own image; thus breaking new ground in the field of anthropology.

Autorenporträt
Frank studied engineering but changed career and taught linguistics and philosophy at universities in the UK, Austria, Canada and Guyana. His main interest was in evolutionary philosophy and in particular the emergence of a Christian theology, based on biblical foundations but shaped by discoveries in science and cosmology. He was a prolific writer on the interface of science and theology.He composed this slim volume of poems over a period of years on a variety of themes as their significance rose, usually quite suddenly, into consciousness. Apart from one short poem that was written as a jeu d'esprit for his daughter on her eighth birthday, all are variations on two themes which weave together: that human evolution, far from having reached its end, is facing its greatest challenge and at its heart is an unprecedented individual challenge of a spiritual nature. The hope of the poems is to share with the reader one person's experience of exploration into this future.
