About this ebook

Within is a poetic symphony in seven movements. Bridging science, philosophy, and religion, it examines such questions as: Does God exist? What is God? Does mathematics bring us to God? Does evolution bring us to God? In dialogue form, it discusses philosophical ideas drawn from Plato, Augustine, Aquinas, and Leibniz, and also celebrates the great Carmelite Doctors Thérèse of Lisieux, Teresa of Avila, and John of the Cross. The story unfolds in a limitless library surrounded by a garden of Forms. We encounter a blind librarian, an ocean of Truth, and a cathedral of Infinity. Rising ever higher, the garden scales hills and mountain ranges. The mystery of the library and what it signifies permeates all seven movements. Only at the end will we find a resolution.
