PNEUMATOLOGY--A NEW SCIENCE FOR THIS NEW CENTURY
Pneumatology. It is not a science yet, but it is the mother of psychology--the study of the psyche (the Greek for animal-like mind)--which, for centuries was considered a branch of philosophy. This was true in 1947 when I decided to focus on, or major in, psychology. Dr. Clayton Baxter--the professor who took me under his wing ( became a respected friend), was a PhD from the Unversity of Toronto--was head if the Department of Philosophy.
The gospels make it clear that Jesus began and ended his short ministry by going up against the corruption perpetrated by the rich and powerful, not just in Rome, but in the Temple bank at Jerusalem. It is apparent from a reading of the Gospels that it was his going up against the corrupt moneychangers--not to be confused with modern money exchangers--that was one of the main reasons for his arrest and crucifixion?
THE ROLE OF MONEYCHANGERS?
On February 2, 2007, using the user-name 'turner'--my son's name and wife's family name--I posted a thread at scienceagogo.com in which I raised the question: What is your philosophy of religion, including atheism? As of today this thread has received over 710, 000 views.

Obviously, on the Web there is much interest in the discussion of religion and all that the topic implies.
