Thomas Sigley has spent over fifty years as a High School teacher in Christian Mission Schools in Japan. He has published a comprehensive review of evolutionary theory ( Steps Towards the Summit) and a study of Australian prose literature ( Writing Across the Continent ). This book ( The Best of Life ) finds its inspiration in the Judaeo/Christian faith. The author’s text is more than the reflections of an individual. He has read widely, and is aware of the great advances made in the critical appreciation of biblical literature in recent times. He skillfully introduces the readers to two outstanding 20th century interpreters of the Scriptures, C.H.Dodd, widely recognized as one of the greatest biblical scholars of our times, and Michael Ramsey, who became Archbishop of Canterbury, and whose book on the Resurrection of Christ is a classic on the subject. The reader will learn new things and will be left with much to ponder. The author has dedicated the book to those who feel the need for a better understanding of the foundations of Christian belief.
