In a world increasingly filled with greater degrees of complexity and interconnection, it may seem that trying to make any predictions about the future is a more of a fools game than it is a science. And while, on the whole, the future may be getting less and less predictable by the day, we would
Road to the Apocalypse: “Kicking the Apocaholic Habit”
In his new book The Advance of Love: Reading the Bible with an Evolutionary Heart, evolutionary Christian Bruce Sanguin includes a confession that will no doubt ring true for many others: he was addicted to apocalyptic thinking.
