FINISHING THE RACEStimulating, theological, and packed with fascinating historical details of Human Race from a Biblical perspective, author’s lively tour of the entire Bible traces the origin of human race from one man whose progeny spread to the entire earth, filled the earth, established their nations with set boundaries. Author establishes the historical account of creation challenging the concept of Darwinian Evolution which claims man is an evolutionary product.Author stresses that there is only One God who created the universe--the cosmos, the planets, stars, life, and the multitude of living species of organisms with the command endowed in their DNA, when God said, to herbs, plants, and animals to multiply 'according to its kind,' 'according to their kind,' which is the basis for biological variation and speciation.Whereas God’s command to human beings was 'Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it,' meaning there is only one single race of humanity. Author has a profound Christian vision of humanity’s temporal and eternal destiny, and thus, he relates in Finishing the Race:In an age when truth is relative, and vanishing conscience, the nations are the crossroads, confused about the true direction as nations are estranged from God.The present culture is 'as in the Days of Noah' quoting Jesus and citing world events and conditions as signs of the end.An end time scenario of world and the second coming of Christ when a northern and a southern army will clash in fierce battle over Jerusalem, the Holy City of God, the capital of the Messianic Kingdom.Not claiming any superiority, like many of the past and famous scientists like Galilei Galileo, Blaise Pascal, Isaac Newton, Louis Pasteur, Robert Boyle etc. Cherian attempt to convince his readers God is in control of human and world affairs, and natural events. Heaven and hell are not mysterious realms of imagination but true physical entities invisible to human eyes and calls the nations to submit to God who only is the answer to national, and global unrest that we see now.
