book expo
For the annual Bryn Athyn College Book Expo on April 9 (see the ad on page
203), here is further information about the speakers and their topics:
Dr. Soni Werner: Conscience: Forensic Psychology
This e-book is about preventing crime, intervening once it begins, and
rehabilitating criminals after they have been incarcerated. It summarizes some
of the latest research in neuroscience on the criminal brain and research studies
on forensic psychology. The conscience is viewed from a Swedenborgian
perspective.
Dr. Reuben Bell: Intelligent Default
Natural forms are not “designed,” nor do they appear by accident. Every
organic form is a “default setting,” as it were, established according to
parameters inherent in matter, in response to environmental conditions, but
dependent on reciprocal, functional interaction with a spiritual cause as well.
These parameters are analogically reflective of the human form, manifesting
itself in continual creation, by means of processes described by Swedenborg’s
doctrines of Degrees, Forms and Correspondence. Evolution of new forms and
adaptation of existing forms to changing conditions, occur in the crucible of
the “randomness” of nature, into which, at its inmost level, flows the template
of divine human form.
