"The Advent of Time" by Indignus Servus is a thought-provoking exploration of time, theology, and existential questions. The author, whose pen name means "unworthy servant" in Latin, delves into the concept of time from its beginning, following the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. This book offers a deep dive into the nature of God, salvation, and the reasons behind pain and suffering.
The author skillfully integrates references from the Bible, other theological works, and philosophical concepts to support their points. They also use simple logic to make complex ideas more accessible. For those grappling with their Christian faith or seeking answers to profound questions, this book serves as a valuable resource.
The book's cover, featuring a spiraling supernova in blue, white, and purple hues, is visually striking. The layout is well-organized, with two parts and ten short chapters, complemented by helpful footnotes and references. Notably, the text is free of profanity and lewd language, although it includes some unsettling imagery when describing hell. The primary themes are Christian theology, philosophy, biblical analysis, and science.
One of the strengths of this book is its reliance on Bible passages and other theological works to validate the author's claims. Readers will find the frequent citations from the Catechism of the Catholic Church informative, though the content leans towards Roman Catholic doctrines. Despite this, the concepts presented are relevant to most Christian denominations.
I found no significant flaws in this book. My only challenge was overcoming my own hesitations with faith, which the author addresses effectively. The author argues that faith requires a childlike trust in God, and cautions against overthinking and applying contradictory logic.
Overall, "The Advent of Time" is a must-read for Christians and those contemplating the faith. Indignus Servus's clear explanations and thorough analysis provide insightful answers to many existential questions, making this book an excellent addition to any theological library.
**Rating: 5/5 stars**

"The Advent of Time" by Indignus Servus seems like a creative solution to the problem of suffering within Christian theology. Grounded in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, it explores faith, reason, and love, emphasizing selflessness. The book engages readers with its logical, well-edited content. I wonder to what extent this text is philosophical seems the problem is closely related to "the problem of evil". I would like to read this book and see the author's viewpoints.
