Congruent Parallels: Living Infinity Living God, is about a person's quest to make sense of the seemingly absurd claims of all religions, particularly Christianity. Rational explanations have provided impetus for the above noted volume.

The author, Gerald Munn, joined the United States Navy, in 1952 at age 18, trained as an airplane mechanic and prepared for conflict as a front turret machine gunner, on a P2V Neptune patrol bomber, during the Korean Conflict. Early in 1956, on return home after military service, he took a side trip to Lexington and registered at the University of Kentucky to earn an AB degree. Married at age 23, he became the father of one daughter. His wife was a legal secretary, he worked part time for the Kroger Co. In 1959, he began attendance at the University of Louisville for a, 1963, M.D. degree and was in the upper 20% of class graduates at both schools. With the realization that Atheism and Agnosticism are beliefs which thinking sane people can actually hold, he gave skepticism free reign in his life. His aim was to keep his behavior within acceptable limits by holding ethical social standards.

Church was an option for hardly more than review of life standards and for courteous social life; it seemed little more than a religious reinforcement rally. He was divorced at age 43 and remarried shortly thereafter. His first wife committed suicide five years later. After 33 years together, he and his second wife share four children and twelve grandchildren. Near middle age the doctor began to comprehend close parallels between religion, society and science.

Those who live moral lives become more successful and satisfied at life. Mortal mankind is subordinate to immortal living infinity. People are at their best when ethically subservient to one another. Divine energy permeates all existence. Illumination has increased with reports that our Sun is like all those stars born in nebulae thousands of light years from planet Earth. Sunlight provides the necessary energy for all life on Earth. Viewed in full, Science's language is ever closer to the language of The Holy Bible. Its first chapter in Genesis is a virtual preview of Darwin's Theory of Evolution. God's energy is in everything and everyone. Curiosity about a basis for belief wisely leads to refuge, in Christianity, from the guilt and grief that accompany survival with both its failures and successes. To a believer, religion may be less a matter of striving for eternal life and more about sensing the potential for having all lives better fulfilled in God's grace. Even for skeptics, through the dimness of grief, Christ's promised resurrection yet remains a bright hope.
