Can world religions or prevailing

philosophies bring forgiveness to people

  who continue to ignore moral laws?

What do the great thinkers of history have to say: Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Voltaire, and Hawking?

Do the Qur'an or Hindu and Buddhist writings offer a concrete answer?

Does any individual offer an answer for this unquenchable thirst for forgiveness?

Throughout human history, thoughtful people have recognized three fundamental truths:

                            **  the existence of God

                            **  the corruption of human nature

                            **  a moral law

Yet, like potent chemicals these three ingredients are seldom combined. Why are they kept in isolation? This book provides a convincing answer. When taken together, these three truths lead inevitably to a disturbing conclusion.

Can God forgive immoral people without ignoring moral laws? Searching for Answers examines prevailing philosophies and world religions to see whether these approaches solve this universal dilemma.

The first five chapters scrutinize the common thirst through history, philosophy, and religions for forgiveness.

The concluding chapter articulates a radical solution-one, which lets God both forgive and punish unmoral acts.
