FRONT ROYAL, Va., July 30, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- "What is the origin of the universe?" "What is the meaning of my life?" Readers who have ever pondered the meaning and purpose of life will find John Janaro's new book a fascinating philosophical journey into religion. The Created Person and the Mystery of God: The Significance of Religion in Human Life (now available through 1stBooks) explores the deepest mysteries of humanity and religion in an easy-to-read, understandable language.
Janaro's book is the result of a series of studies that explore the significance of God's existence in the life of every person. Because humans were made by God and for God, Janaro writes, the only way to realize humanity's "true dignity" is by recognizing and worshipping God. Based on this premise, the book scrutinizes both the traditional and present-day debates on the existence of God and the mystery of creation. The author presents his thoughts on the necessity of God's presence in humanity and the negative consequences resulting from the absence of God in today's society.
Written to satisfy both religious and academic scholars, as well as general readers, The Created Person and the Mystery of God powerfully supports Christianity's claim, which Janaro expertly sums up:
"God has revealed himself by becoming man and has thereby bestowed upon human existence a transcendent beauty and value. Jesus Christ, God incarnate, is the Divine answer to the human person's search for meaning and purpose in life," he writes.
A gripping work, Janaro's book provides a sound foundation to gain insight into one's personal relationship with God and serves as a springboard for researchers to journey into a new level of philosophy and religion.
Janaro lives in Front Royal, Va., with his wife and four children. He is a member of the Roman Catholic Church and published his first book, Fishers of Men, highlighting America's Catholic priesthood, in 1987. In addition, he's published several articles in academic journals. He is currently associate professor and chairman of the department of theology at Christendom College, where he has worked since 1994.
