Herod's Temple
The temple of Jerusalem as it appeared in 66 AD, about three and a half decades after the crucifixion of Jesus and just prior to the Roman destruction of temple and city during the First Jewish Revolt.  This wonderful outdoor model of late Second Temple Jerusalem stands on the grounds of the Israel Museum.

The prominent evangelical Protestant philosopher J. P. Moreland earned a degree in chemistry before proceeding to degrees in theology and philosophy.

 

“In Scripture, faith involves placing trust in what you have reason to believe is true.  Faith is not a blind, irrational leap into the dark.  So faith and reason cooperate on a biblical view of faith.  They are not intrinsically hostile.”

J. P. Moreland
