Latest Review: The Ulstermen by Seán Kenny

Post by Ashley Hodgins »

I liked how the author examined both sides—science and Christianity—in a form akin to a debate. What I enjoyed most about it was how the author tackled those difficult and profound subjects head-on, delving deeply into the reasons why an all-loving God would permit pain and suffering. I gave this book a 5/5 when I read it this past June and have recommended it to other people. I had mixed feelings about the cover—I didn't love it or dislike it.

The Advent of Time by Indignus Servus is an intellectually stimulating and profound exploration of the age-old problem of evil, particularly through the lens of love and timelessness. The author presents a compelling, philosophical analysis, grounded in deep metaphysical and theological concepts, making it a valuable read for anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy, religion, and the human condition. However, the heavy philosophical content may be difficult for some readers to digest without a background in philosophy or theology, making it more suited for a specialized audience.

I think this book deserves a 5 star score because the author is able to thoroughly explain his view scientifically and biblically. The way he broke down each part, using the smaller pieces to make the overall content easy to undestand.

I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars because it was exceptionally well-edited, informative, and well-written. The author did an excellent job providing his information in easy-to-understand terminology. In fact, it was much better than when I was in Catechism classes. The book is best suited for Catholics, as some of their teachings are different from those of other religions.

Overall the book is well written and an intriguing read. I hadn't done much research before purchasing it as a book of the month book and at first glance the cover was attractive but made me think it was science-fiction. Personally, I would have wished the author included more science-based arguments earlier in the book. They did well in setting up their arguments and providing detailed evidence supporting their thoughts. It made me think about evil and the idea of omnibenevolence in ways I hadn't before, and I'm catching myself pondering the topic while walking to work.

The Advent of Time by Indignus Servus explores the problem of evil through the lens of love and timelessness, blending philosophy and theology. While praised for its deep analysis, some may find the content challenging without a philosophical background. It's recommended for readers interested in philosophy, religion, and human suffering.

I haven't read the book yet, but from what I have read from people, it seems the author explains his views biblically and scientifically. I think I will give it a read and come to give a thorough feedback.

This book, The Advent of Time by Indignus Servus, proved to be an eye opener. The author maintained a clear point of view. I felt more comfortable knowing that he aligned with a school of thought without being pretentious about it. Also, I appreciate that the book is easy to understand and was not unnecessarily complicated. This book deserves a 5 out of 5, and I am glad different reviewers agree.

The author's approach to those challenging and complex topics, which delved deeply into the reasons why an all-loving God would allow pain and suffering, was what I found most enjoyable about it. I give this book a five-star rating.
