The Faith Equation: One Mathematician's Journey in Christianity

by Marvin L. Bittinger

Bestselling college textbook author Marvin L. Bittinger provides a new and original defense of the Christian faith using a framework of mathematics. In The Faith Equation, Dr. Bittinger uses mathematical concepts to examine both truth and paradox from the Bible, historical details examining prophecy, the growth in Christian evangelism, the healing power of prayer, the Trinity, and numerical applications of math in the Bible - even how string theory relates to the endtimes. Dr. Bittinger writes for the average Christian, presenting his mathematical defense in the approachable way that only he can - shown by his success in bringing basic college mathematics to over 12 million students.

i enjoyed the 11th chapter where solved and unsolved theorems were addressed. maybe address goldbach’s conjecture in your presentation (- very easy to understand mathematical principle that has not been properly explained - something can be simple and just exist while we don’t have the facilities or capabilities to understand it -).

i enjoyed this book. i haven’t read any books like this before, going into in-depth on connections between numbers, math and Christianity. a highlight for me was the chapter where a graph of the world pop. with reached ppls and Christians was laid out. it was fun seeing that process. need more like this!

This is a different kind of book. One which reflects the professional and spiritual sides of the author. It will help you as well.
