Why does the Bible still matter in an age of jet engines and algorithms? In Time, Technology, Tolerance, and Truth, first-time author J. Edward takes on that question with the plainspoken confidence of a man who has heard every objection at the dinner table and decided to answer them one by one.
Tracing the history of commerce, transportation, and communication — from the barter system to the credit card, the caravan to the supersonic jet — J. Edward makes a simple but forceful case: technology has transformed almost everything about how we live, but it has never once changed who we are. Sin, selfishness, and the hunger for truth are exactly what they were three thousand years ago — and so is God’s answer to them.
Along the way, the book confronts the excuses used to dismiss Scripture, weighs the Bible’s manuscript evidence against other ancient texts, questions the assumptions behind evolution, and challenges modern “tolerance” as a stand-in for truth — before closing with the one decision J. Edward believes every reader must eventually make.
