To obtain this information a thorough and broad approach is necessary, for we must not limit our search for truth to only one traditional segment of information. To do so is unnecessarily restrictive and may introduce biases that could be avoided. As an example we would have more confidence in a conclusion regarding origins which is based on science, history and revelation combined than one based on history alone. While this type of broad approach in this age of specialization is not traditional we feel it is essential and academically superior. One of the purposes of this periodical is to approach truth from this broader perspective.
More information is better than less.
A second and related area of concern is for man's image of God. The matter of origins and past history as it relates to God's revelation is particularly significant here. Modern science claims significant differences when compared to revelation. The implications can be serious. For instance, a God who would create by a process of evolution does not appear to be the powerful, personal and compassionate God described in the Bible.
