• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Origins of Morality juxtaposes nature and divinity, theory and faith, and science and theology, provoking intense curiosity about threads woven into the fabric of ethics and belief systems by humankind over the ages. Daniel Briggs critically analyzes classic and contemporary theories in science, biology, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and theology to present fresh insight into the derivation of value systems and mores from the beginning of recorded time to the present day. Tempered by the writings of renowned theorists such as Einstein, Hawking, Darwin, Freud, and Adler against a backdrop of writings attributed to the Divine, Briggs helps the reader traverse a web of complex concepts ranging from the big bang theory and the cosmological constant to Darwinism and intelligent design, iron logic and faith to formulate a cogent view of morality. Briggs balances secular and spiritual elements, examining contentious and divergent views on the foundations underlying humanity and morality to present objective information that allows readers to formulate their own conclusions. Although written in scholarly fashion, The Origins of Morality includes references and a glossary making it suitable for a wide audience of readers. The book will be of particular interest to academicians, psychologists, scientists, sociologists, theologians, students and those individuals seeking answers to fundamental questions about the origins of human belief systems. Rather than repeating content from works, Briggs refers readers interested in exploring certain areas in more detail to other books he has published on related or tangential topics. Briggs has written an intellectually stimulating and thought provoking book that challenges readers to question answers proffered by scientific theory and religion, to draw their own conclusions. The Origins of Morality is highly recommended for those who want to get past philosophical rhetoric and confusing scientific theories to formulate their own answer to the question, "What is morality?" How will you answer this question after reading The Origins of Morality? Judy Bullock, Ph.D. Professor at American Intercontinental University Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Dr. Briggs, is a third generation clergyman who began his life calling when he was just 15 years old, when he first started preaching under the guidance of his father, Rev. Arthur Briggs, in Winterport, Maine. When Dr. Daniel Briggs was 17 years old he began attending seminary in the USA (ABI) and by 18 years of age he transferred to a Canadian seminary (NCC) and simultaneously began to minister in many churches throughout Eastern Canada. By age 21 Dr. Daniel Briggs left Canada and went to Biddeford, Maine (a predominately catholic French speaking city) to start a new congregation he named First Apostolic Church of Biddeford (FACB), where he founded and headquartered WCMA-Maine in 1993. WCMA-Maine was divested in 2008 and merged with WCMA-Florida. Dr. Briggs began developing World Christian Ministries Association, Inc.

Since he began this work in early 2006, it has flourished to over 4,300 churches, ministries, ministers, charities and organizations representing over 202,246 constituents. One of the main premises of this book (UTA) was endorsed by Rev. Dr. David Bernard (UPCI General Supt.) in the early nineties when it was first being developed. A copy of that interview is available upon request and will be a part of an upcoming book soon to be published.
