Description: Star Death is a science-based fiction book depicting ""sun death"" as revealed by the Prophets and as depicted by the Apostle Peter in the Holy Bible. It also parallels scientific estimations of solar entropy as forecast by major astrophysicists who have pushed Relativity Theory to its applicable limits. This book, based on real scientific theorization, is fresh in perspective and presents the laws of thermodynamics in a way never entertained before. The sun, reacting to inputs from the outer reaches of the Milky Way Galaxy, must therefore ""negotiate"" the ""tugs of entropy""; it stretches its electromagnetic curtain to envelop the whole heliosphere into tumultuous radiation eruptions that extend even to the outer periphery of the solar system. Jupiter, Mercury, and the Earth convulse under tremendous pressures that impinge upon their mass and magnetic fields, respectively, to produce turbulence and perturbations uprooting the relative tranquility of the solar system. On the Earth, there is life, human life. Gravi-metric processes become chaotic and erratic so as to disrupt the daily routine of productive life. With impending ""star death"" came the imperative necessity to create a permanent, safe, space habitation for the human family. As ""sun death"" affected the whole human species, countries undertook to cooperate internationally in order to alleviate human suffering in the light of the possible extinction of the family of Man.

Dr. Jeon's Biblical Theology is a timely must-read for church leaders, seminarians, pastors, and missionaries in the Global Mission Field. It examines God's redemptive history in creation, fall, redemption, and consummation as revealed in the Old and New Testaments. Dr. Jeon delves into the grand redemptive drama, progressively demonstrated through the divine covenants, as well as the manifestation of the eschatological Kingdom of God. This book provides not only a proper redemptive historical vision of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation but also key ideas for the formation of a solid biblical worldview. Dr. Jeon demonstrates the intersection and union between biblical and systematic theology while exploring redemptive history. Dr. Jeon also emphasizes that we currently live in the eschatological age, inaugurated after Jesus Christ's death and resurrection as the Mediator of the New Covenant. This inaugurated eschatological Kingdom of God will be consummated after the Second Coming of Jesus. Meanwhile, the present age is occurring during the last days, in which we live in the era of Global Missions by God's grace. The community of the New Covenant church should humbly respond by participating in evangelism and missions, demonstrating to the world that God's final judgment is coming. ""Dr. Jeon both surveys the Bible's contents from one epoch to another and sketches out for the reader some of the main issues discussed over the years by Reformed scholars in our deliberations on the Bible's unified message, adding his own analysis. . . . Jeon expertly guides the reader through the main lines of interpretation of the whole of God's revelation from beginning to end. The scope of this work might seem breathtaking at first, but the reader will hopefully be aided by the focus upon covenant and kingdom presented here, which provide the Bible's own organizing center."" --Steve Baugh, from the foreword Jeong Koo Jeon (MAR, MDiv, Westminster Seminary California; PhD, Westminster Theological Seminary) is professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology at Faith Theological Seminary, Baltimore, Maryland. His other books include Covenant Theology; Covenant Theology and Justification by Faith; and Calvin and the Federal Vision.
William Harvey's On the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals is a classic work of the scientific revolution and of modern medicine, for in it he famously argued, with extensive evidence based on dissections and vivisections, for the circulation of the blood. It also overturned the longstanding theories of the heart's movement and function. This new edition is suitable for classroom use and for general interest. In addition to an updated translation, it also contains an introductory essay and footnotes. ""Professor Carty's excellent new edition of William Harvey's classic treatise will hopefully return On the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals to its rightful place in liberal arts education."" --Geoffrey Kellow, Associate professor of Intellectual History, The College of the Humanities, Carleton University ""This new edition puts Harvey's masterpiece of anatomical observation and deductive reasoning within the reach of liberal arts students everywhere. Professor Carty updates Robert Willis's 1847 translation, modernizing Willis's diction and simplifying his syntax. Carty also supplies Harvey's Dedication to Charles I, his indispensable figures, a brief introduction sketching Harvey's life and the scientific and political context of his work, and many helpful explanatory and scholarly footnotes--advantages that are combined in no other edition currently available."" --Jeff J.S. Black, St. John's College, Annapolis and Santa Fe Jarrett A. Carty is an Associate Professor at the Liberal Arts College, Concordia University, Montreal.
