Description

Could the Bible describe the periodic table, biology, and sub-atomic particles? What about UFO's?

Something magical happens in the Synapse; that space between the opposing forces of God and man.

The Bible’s residual message says everything without saying anything. Building on The Calling and The Cipher, Synapse bridges God’s vast chasm, both physically and spiritually. The connections found are nothing short of staggering as the Bible comes to life. 

Patterns, objects, and characteristics outlined in the creation account describe the periodic table, biology, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and even sub-atomic particles. These patterns remain consistent across the cosmos—like God’s fingerprint—rendering arguments against God’s existence absurd. 

The spiritual synapse is equally incredible. That gap is filled with the silent among us—fallen angels. They speak in tongues so they can be everywhere yet nowhere. Like science in the Bible, this language says everything without saying anything. It turns out, interpreting tongues, which is the language of angels, may be the key to unlock the spiritual world around us. 

Synapse explores how artists of every genre, especially musicians, use this veiled language to communicate. After exploring this hidden message, our journey leads to God’s plan of reconciliation through love and kindness. 

This is a call for the reconciliation of God’s Church. Nobody can be left behind—not this time.

A Note From the Publisher

Scientific Audience:
The audience for Synapse are those seeking a better connection between God and the world through science, art, and music.

Artistic Audience:
One might go so far as to consider it the fourth perspective of Pulitzer Prize winner Douglas R. Hofstander's book "Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid." The topics covered in that book connect art, music, and science. Synapse connects those to God in a provable way.

Christian Audience:
This book ties God to everything around us from science to culture. It is written in a way that allows deep exploration and discussion points with professionals in various fields. Consider what one reviewer had to say about the Christian audience:

"A significant contribution to religious studies" —Syed Asher, Readers' Favorite

"A great thinking piece in various Christian groups and perhaps introductory groups like Alpha courses." —K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite

"As someone always fascinated by scripture, I was blown away by the amount of information the Bible had stored in its heart, just waiting for someone to open it and share it." —Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite

"He promotes deeper Scripture analysis, emphasizing humility, mercy, and redemption through Christ, and stresses that the Bible's coherence and depth suggest divine involvement. Synapse spans topics from mankind as a symbolically marked beast to the thinning of the spiritual veil, hinging on a diverse perspective on creation, drawing on a breadth of influences to encourage renewed look and interpretation of the Bible." —Syed Asher, Readers' Favorite

Structure and Style:
This book is split into two parts. The first connects the Bible to God's code and the physical world around us, including the periodic table, human bone structure, DNA, and even theoretical physics.

It is written to be clear; however, there are technical moments requiring critical thinking. Consider what some reviewers had to say about the structure:

"The way author Mark Walton explained Synapse was profound and clear. Mark did much research, which is apparent in this collection's cohesiveness. Each chapter had complete information, and I felt I gained more knowledge than just reading someone's thoughts on a topic. The narrative style was perfect. It was as if I was listening to a beloved professor who was an expert in his field." —Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite

"The organization of the work was crisp and clear, with plenty of well-evidenced and apt biblical material and other sources ready to be easily referenced when having conversations after reading." —K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite

"A lot of writers court controversy. Mark Walton practically marries it in Synapse: Lost in the Gap. By breaching custom with concepts like an unconventional view of UFOs as biblical entities connected to the heavenly host, and interpreting the purpose of the Law as a means to increase transgressions to invite more grace, Walton daringly contradicts the spectrum of collective religious understanding. How the Bible works in contemporary life is endorsed by things like Walton's section on Christ-inspired tattoos and their spiritual significance, pointing to Galatians 6:17: 'From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus.'"—Syed Asher, Readers' Favorite

Scientific Audience:
The audience for Synapse are those seeking a better connection between God and the world through science, art, and music.
