Is Jesus Reasonable?: A Logical Analysis of the Statements Attributed to Jesus Christ
Autor Gerald R. Pricharden Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 sep 2009
Gerald Prichard, a Bible teacher and Ph.D. scientist, details the answers to this question. Specifically, he compares all of the conditional and procedural statements attributed to Christ to each other, as well as to all of the formal rules of human reasoning. In so doing, this book demonstrates that formal human reasoning can be an applicable method of interpreting these statements, but not generally for logical inferences nor for a few specific passages.
Lastly, Dr. Prichard determines the minimal set of human conditions that together imply each of the promises conditioned upon human attitudes or actions. This analysis indicates that individual sacrifice, desire, and perseverance in following Christ's Example and individual humility are the most common human conditions associated with these promises.

Recenzii
Dr. Prichard's research on the logical nature of Christ's statements, which demonstrates that Christ's words are very generally consistent with human reasoning, takes a key step toward regaining the theological ground that was lost needlessly in the debate between faith and science. He has reframed the structure of that debate from its traditional adversarial configuration of "science versus faith" into the conciliatory configuration of "science plus faith," thereby recapturing the much-too-long ceded ground. The significant evidence that Dr. Prichard's research demonstrates for such a reconciliation should reinvigorate the believers' attack on the shopworn view that faith and science have no common ground; and the place in his research that clearly distinguishes where a reconciliation cannot be made is not only consistent with all of the logical theorems regarding axiomatic incompleteness but also clarifies the view that while faith and science are overlapping and mutually supportive in many cases, they are not and never will be fully unified.
