The Faith Equation: Exploring the Christian Faith through a Mathematical Framework

Bestselling author defends Christianity and the Bible using a framework of mathematics. Dr. Marvin Bittinger puts his religious beliefs to the same tests he puts his academic work through -- and proves that the mathematics and numbers in the Bible (and in the Christian religion) are infallible. Join Dr. Bittinger as he takes you through the mathematical journey in the Bible.

Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) October 6, 2007 -- In the ongoing, sometimes contentious discussions of evolution versus creationism versus intelligent design, experts from all sides weigh in with evidence in support of their perspectives, and arguments disproving the positions of others. In applying the concept of apologetics to faith -- a reasoned defense, or the science and art of defending a faith -- in his new book The Faith Equation: One Mathematician's Journey in Christianity (Literary Architects, ISBN: 978-1-933669-07-6,$18.95) renowned mathematics author Marvin Bittinger, Ph.D., uses mathematics to explain and defend Christianity.

As one the world's preeminent teachers of college mathematics --- more than 12 million copies of his textbooks are currently in print -- Dr. Bittinger uses mathematic principles and concepts to examine both truth and paradox in Mathematics, Christianity and the Bible; historical details examining the probability of prophecy, growth in Christian evangelism, the healing power of prayer, String Theory and the Trinity, and the numerical applications of math in the Bible.

In The Faith Equation, Dr. Bittinger, a devout Christian, puts his religious beliefs to the same tests and rigor that he requires of his students and demands in his profession. Best-selling author M. Scott Peck described The Faith Equation as "a book of the kind of wacky genius one is lucky enough to encounter but a few occasions during his or her lifetime."

Written in the same approachable style that has made Dr. Bittinger the overwhelming choice for teaching college students math for more than 30 years, The Faith Equation is required reading for anyone interested in scientific or mathematical evidence of Christianity in the world around them.
