New book uses scientific evidence to affirm Jesus as the Son of God
‘Statistically Significant’ by Tim Mack, Ph.D., explores the intersection of faith and science
BLACKSBURG, Va. – A new book by academic researcher and former university dean Tim Mack, Ph.D., takes a scientific approach to answering one of Christianity’s most enduring questions: Is Jesus really the Son of God?
In “Statistically Significant: The Science of Jesus as the Son of God” (published by WestBow Press), Mack presents a wide-ranging body of evidence that includes archaeological discoveries, historical manuscripts, fulfilled prophecies and statistical analysis. Drawing on more than 100 referenced sources, Mack argues that belief in Jesus is not only rooted in faith but strongly supported by objective data.
Among the topics explored in the book are the fulfillment of 25 Old Testament prophecies by Jesus, which Mack calculates to have a probability of less than one in 33 million. He also discusses archaeological findings that validate key people and places from the New Testament, as well as geological evidence that align with the Gospel accounts of the Jesus’ death.
“This is a ‘general public’ book for anyone interested in seeing convincing scientific evidence for Jesus as the Son of God,” the author says. “It will appeal to millions of Christians worldwide and skeptics interested in science and religion. There are enough details to appeal to both novice and advanced readers of this topic.”
“Statistically Significant: The Science of Jesus as the Son of God” is available now in paperback and e-book formats through WestBow Press, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other major retailers. For more information, please visit www.
