    About this ebook

    During the course of two years living outdoors in Alaska Garrison Clifford Gibson wrote philosophical essays on cosmology and Christianity considering how spirit and the Universe are reconciled with reason. The author's interests reading popular cosmology, the Bible, philosophy and history yielded construction of a synthesis of logic, epistemology, philosophy of language and the gospel into a world view examining transcendence of mass and energy through the Spirit.
