The Advent of Time by Indignus Servus A short book that talks about love, pain, and suffering throughout the world and time.

This is not a long read, but is a heavy read. What I mean by this, is that it’s a book you’ll want to read slowly, and really take time to think about what it is that is being said.

Like all theology books, this one makes you think, rethink, and think again a third time about the questions at hand. This book does a great job of explaining the rationale behind the concepts of love, pain, and sin when referring to God. It’s well thought out and easily digestible. I would suggest reading one section at a time, and then taking some time to process before moving to the next chapter.

The idea that Adam and Eve are the root cause of what humans know as a time-based-material world is fascinating. Their choice to invoke their right to free choice consequently broke the statis God had placed the Garden of Eden in, This act of freewill created time as we know it now, and also opened up the selfishness and sin by not obeying God. But that’s the point, right? By Adam and Eve exercising their right to choose, they, in the end, chose “badly,” but by obeying God, it’s possible that freewill may not have existed at all. The back and forth process of thought is quite overwhelming at first, (and honestly I do a poor job of explaining it) but once you begin to grasp the concept, it all begins to fall into place. Truly, a fascinating read.

I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars because I liked it, found it relatively easy to read, and gave me a lot to think on. A good read for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge or study Christianity.
