Overview
In the questioning spirit of Socrates, Dr Parkinson argues that Christianity must be true to its basic principles of truth seeking. He traces the evolution of Christian thought and belief from its earliest foundations to the present day and proposes its future evolution in the light of new scientific understanding, in particular recent discoveries in Cosmology. He addresses the question that as we are built in the image of God, how can we become closer to God and more specifically, acquire the mind of God, who made us in his own image; thus breaking new ground in the field of anthropology.

Author Information
Dr Parkinson studied engineering but changed career and taught linguistics and philosophy at universities in the UK, Austria, Canada and Guyana. His main interest was in evolutionary philosophy and in particular the emergence of a Christian theology, based on biblical foundations but shaped by discoveries in science and cosmology. He was a prolific writer on the interface of science and theology. 'Beyond Christianity', was almost complete at the time of his sudden death in late October 2018. It has been published in Frank's memory, by his wife Zita and family.
