Bio
Author of "The Empathy Imperative," (currently under revision and will soon be published under the title "The Best of All Possible Gods? a bold novel based on the epic struggle between biblical literality, political duplicity, and science, featuring a ethereal trial of God in the Court of Universal Justice.
What if the Bible were literally true (sans apparent contradictions)? What would that say about science? More importantly, however, what would it say about Christianity? Was God a deceiver, after all?
M. Jefferson Hale, Professor of Evolutionary Science and Philosophy, will inadvertently and reluctantly find out.
The novel opens with God deciding to trigger the Time of Sorrows as foretold in the Book of Revelation. As world disasters increase in frequency and magnitude, religious mania sweeps the U.S., and politicians rush to make laws that will prove to God that they are worthy of salvation. Following a Constitutional Convention, the republic falls to theocracy.
But the best laid plans of gods and men are not to be. In a surprise twist of fate, Yahweh will find himself the defendant in an ethereal courtroom. The charges? Creating evil, willful and harmful negligence, and terrorism. The reluctant prosecutor? M. Jefferson Hale.
