What is "authentic Christianity"? With so many conflicting doctrines and denominations, each claiming to be truth, how can anyone be sure that they are following God's will? The solution is to move away from doctrines that use the Bible piecemeal, seizing on some verses while ignoring others. Instead, Christians must view the Bible as a single unified narrative. Once the interconnected nature of Scripture is found, God's plan for humanity becomes crystal clear. The individual books of the Bible, while having many inspired authors and being written over hundreds of years, all...

Scholars of international studies thought that finally an extraordinary research finding would bring scholars together in a common pursuit for researcher that would lighten a pathway toward a peaceful world: If only a world of democracies could be established, international relations would be based on diplomacy, not war. But they abandoned basic rules of scientific and systematic research by failing to define what they meant by "democracy," and next sought a critical variable explaining why democracies were presumably so peaceful toward one another, unaware of paradigmatic possibilities. They...
