Proving God: Swedenborg's Remarkable Quest for the Quantum Fingerprints of Love

by Edward F. Sylvia

<!--[if gte mso 9]> <![endif]--> A daring work that unifies science and theology by challenging many of the world's current beliefs about both. Proving God is guaranteed to create controversy and energetic conversation. Forget what both scientists and the clergy have told you about the ultimate reality. This extraordinary book shows you how scientists have misinterpreted the laws of the physical universe and how theologians have misinterpreted the revealed wisdom of God's Holy Word. Unknown to most scholars, Holy Scripture is a multi-dimensional document containing the patterning principles for all the laws of the universe. Proving God provides clear and rational evidence that the evolution of intelligence and consciousness on earth and the spiritual redemption of humankind is the extension of nature's laws and orderly process into the non-physical realm of heaven. Each chapter ends with an easy-to-grasp summary plus a bold prediction about where the paradigm shift in human worldviews is headed. Prepare yourself for the new laws of physics and the new theology that will fulfill God's promise to make "all things new!" 2011 Eric Hoffer Award Winner – recognizing salient writing and independent spirit 2011 Montaigne Medal Winner – honored as one of the most thought-provoking books of the year 2011 Silver Nautilus Award Winner – awarded to books that stimulate the imagination and offer new possibilities for a better life and a better world <!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]> <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {"Table Normal"; ""; 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; "Cambria","serif"; } <![endif]-->

He received his Master of Theological Studies at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, CA and a Certificate of Swedenborgian Studies from the Swedenborgian House of Studies. He is a member of the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (C.T.N.S.) and the Swedenborg Scientific Association (S.S.A.).

Award-winning author of three books: Sermon From the Compost Pile: Seven Steps Toward Creating An Inner Garden, a book for anyone who has ever felt a spiritual connection to the garden and the world of nature; Proving God, which fulfills a continuing vision that God’s fingerprints of Love can be found everywhere in the manifest universe; and the recently released Swedenborg & Gurdjieff: The Missing Links (Anti-Intuitive Essays for Personal Transformation).
