Faith of a Scientist
Dr. James Tour was born into a Jewish family becoming a born-again Christian in his first year at Syracuse University. He is a Messianic Jew who believes that Jesus is the Messiah.
“On November 7, 1977, while a college student, I came to the realization
that Jesus Christ is indeed the Jewish Messiah. I asked Jesus Christ to forgive
me for my sins and to come into my heart. The result was an immediate
and sustaining sense of God’s presence, peace and joy
in a manner that I had never before known.”
In Lee Strobel‘s book The Case For Faith, Dr. Tour says:
“I stand in awe of God because of what he has done through His creation.
If you really study science, it will bring you closer to God.”
Faith of a Scientist is a 2:00 radio program hosted by Dr. James Tour. Its purpose is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
“I cannot let a week go by without seeing at least one person accept
Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.”
