Attempting to prove the existence of God is an ancient and venerable tradition within the discipline known as the philosophy of religion. But can we truly prove the existence of God using human reason alone? Just how do we prove the existence of God? Why try? Which, if any, of the various theistic proofs are persuasive? God, Reason, and Theistic Proofs tackles these fundamental questions head-on. Stephen T. Davis examines a cross-section of theistic proofs that have been offered by theologians and thinkers from Anselm to Paley, explaining in clear terms what theistic proofs are and what they try to accomplish. He then goes on to explore in depth the relationship between theistic proofs and religious realism, the ontological argument for the existence of God, the cosmological and teleological arguments, the position known as foundationalism, and the argument from religious experience. Wisely structured and clearly written, this volume will make an excellent resource for those looking for a comprehensive introduction to the debate surrounding the existence of God, or for those seeking intellectual validation for their faith.
The Copts, adherents of the Egyptian Orthodox Church, today represent the largest Christian community in the Middle East, and their presiding bishops have been accorded the title of pope since the third century AD. This study analyzes the development of the Egyptian papacy from its origins to the rise of Islam. How did the papal office in Egypt evolve as a social and religious institution during the first six and a half centuries AD? How do the developments in the Alexandrian patriarchate reflect larger developments in the Egyptian church as a whole-in its structures of authority and lines of communication, as well as in its social and religious practices? In addressing such questions, Stephen J. Davis examines a wide range of evidence-letters, sermons, theological treatises, and church histories, as well as art, artifacts, and archaeological remains-to discover what the patriarchs did as leaders, how their leadership was represented in public discourses, and how those representations definitively shaped Egyptian Christian identity in late antiquity.The Early Coptic Papacy is Volume 1 of The Popes of Egypt: A History of the Coptic Church and Its Patriarchs.Also available: Volume 2, The Coptic Papacy in Islamic Egypt, 641-1517 (Mark N. Swanson) and Volume 3, The Emergence of the Modern Coptic Papacy (Magdi Girgis, Nelly van Doorn-Harder).
The Gospel in Genesis and in the City

Genesis offers insight and encouragement to those who live and minister in urban environments. Though the world began in a garden-temple, it eventually arrives at an urban temple. There are indications in Genesis that those who are made in God's image seek community, and urban living offers the promise of community. The first major attempt at city-building in Genesis represents man in rebellion against God. Contrariwise, the New Testament tells us that Abraham was looking for a city whose builder and maker was God. Abraham desired a city designed for worship, not a Babel-like monument to human rebellion. Human cities most often represent rebellion, not worship, and need redemption. Genesis offers much insight into how the unfolding story of the gospel relates to the desperate plight of urban dwellers as they futilely seek to find rest and community in urban temples that worship the creature rather than the Creator.

Poetic Meditations on Selected Scripture

This devotional of poetic mediations grew out of forty-five years of expository preaching and self-reflection. The author's intermittent attempts at poetry reveal both his best and worst parts. These poems reflect experience as a follower of Jesus, an inward battle with sin, shame, sadness, defeats; yet, always the word of God leads to the gospel of Jesus Christ and his victory, his forgiveness, his power, his love, and his hope. Never without the realization of sinfulness and the sufficiency of the work of Jesus Christ, many live daily on a continuum between these two poles of striving by faith to rest in Christ and agonizing over the heart's inclination to wander. By God's grace and through his Spirit, that movement may be more toward victory than defeat.

Davis and Goliath: One Inventor's Struggle with the Mismanagement and Theft of Intellectual Property

This book is a historical accounting of Canada's R&D programs in infrared signature suppression (IRSS) for military platforms, particularly warships and tactical helicopters. The R&D program that took place at Defence Research Establishment Suffield (DRES) between 1975 and 1980 is detailed. The Canadian Navy was preparing to build new City class patrol frigates and to refit existing Tribal class DDH-280 destroyers at the time. The most significant infrared (IR) emitter on a warship is the hot engine exhaust ducts. An IRSS system capable of preventing heat-seeking missiles from detecting warships was invented. The "DRES Ball" is a cooled exhaust system with optical blockage. It was patented in 1982 and later licensed to W.R. Davis Engineering Limited ("Davis"). The DRES Ball was installed on all Canadian Patrol Frigates and a light-weight variant, known as the "Eductor/Diffuser," was installed on all DDH-280 destroyers. Both maritime systems were adapted for use on tactical helicopters and 30 Canadian CH-146 "Griffon" helicopters are fitted with these systems today. Davis was involved in all of this work under contracts with the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) in which DND retained ownership of all intellectual property (IP).Software dubbed "ShipIR" was developed to model the IR signature of warships beginning in 1992. A module known as the Naval Threat Countermeasures Simulator (NTCS) was also developed capable of modelling the engagement between a warship and an incoming IR-guided missile. ShipIR/NTCS was developed by Davis under contracts with DND. It has been the NATO standard software for IR studies for the last two decades.Having addressed the most significant IR emitters on warships, attention turned to the problem of IR radiation from sun-heated surfaces of the ship. This work began in 2003. The Onboard Signature Manager allows the ship operator to control the ship's IR signature in real time. The ship's skin is divided into zones that are fitted with temperature sensors and spray nozzles. Sea water is sprayed on the skin to maintain a temperature that enables the ship to blend in with the sky/sea background. A sea water injection system was also developed that further cools the exhaust gases from the ship's engines. These Davis proposed concepts were reduced to practice under contracts with DND. The second theme and major focus of the book is on the mismanagement of the IRSS intellectual property (IP) by Canadian Patents and Development Limited (CPDL) and DND as well as the unauthorized use and misappropriation of that IP by Davis. The book describes a 22-year long dispute between DND and the inventors that began with letters of complaint, the filing of formal grievances, and finally the conduct of a Crown-funded Independent Review intended to settle the matter. The Independent Reviewer concluded that serious communication problems within government had resulted in a deficient license being issued to Davis. The license had also been poorly administered and not enforced. The Reviewer was also critical that the license duration was the term of the patents rather than the useful life of the technology. The Reviewer recommended that: (i) Davis be approached to amend the license retroactively and that legal action be taken if Davis refused to do so, and (ii) the inventors be compensated for unrealized royalties. Neither recommendation was implemented. The inventors subsequently filed a lawsuit against DND and Davis. The suit was dismissed more than 14 years later on the basis of undue delay. A second law suit for solicitor's negligence was filed after Davis was able to extricate himself from the action due to a procedural error. That suit was eventually settled by the Alberta Lawyers Insurance Association. Davis has sold an estimated $1B worth of IRSS products world-wide. The inventors have only received about $6,000 in royalties under the terms of the Public Servants Inventions Act.
