| "Free Will and the Divine Nature of Humans" by John S. Talbot looks at how our free will may lead to a human destiny already reached by Jesus of Nazareth.
Book Probes the Nature of Jesus and Mankind
Free Will and the Divine Nature of Humans by John S. Talbot is a provocative look at what free will implies about the basic spirituality of humanity. He suggests that if people have free will, then they can't be totally subject to the material laws of the universe, and are, instead, transcendent beings. So if Jesus was really human and not God, Almighty, as a careful reading of the New Testament implies, then his divine transformation in the desert could be available to everyone. Can mankind accept the stunning scientific discoveries of the last centuries and still discover that spiritual path? Yes, says Talbot, as long as one realizes that gradual evolution is as much a part of our spiritual souls as our physical natures.
Written in clear, page-turning prose, Talbot's book suggests that recognizing this evolving transcendent nature can lead humans to a new kind of spiritual fulfillment. With a background as a research physicist, Episcopal priest and Silva Mind Control instructor, Talbot contends that many Biblical claims like the great flood, the age of the world, the primacy of Adam and Eve, and Earth's position as the center of the universe can't be supported by science. But he also claims that new discoveries in science can now reveal how people's transcendent souls can be a part of their physical bodies and can lead them to a new destiny.
Humans are here for a reason, asserts Talbot, and he guides readers into understanding what humans can do to achieve their ultimate destiny here on earth.
"Talbot's writing is clear and warm, exhibiting both humor and intellect. The intellectually adventurous, as well as those engaged in self-discovery work, will thoroughly enjoy this romp through the far reaches of humanity's potential." - BookWire Review, Jan. 26, 2007
