Thesis on Convergence
Thesis means: "a statement or theory that is put forward as a premise to be maintained or proved.”
The clear statement here is: All WindowView areas contribute perspectives with evidence coming together from science and Scripture.
That evidence ultimately leads to one life changing conclusion! The scientific information indicates life is unique and not by chance. The evidence points to design and thus opens to life having purpose. Design comes from a mind and is not random or by chance!
Scriptural information leads to how life’s purpose offers an opportunity to make a vital personal decision—to form a relationship with the source of design. Specifically, the biblical information presents Elohim (God) as creator and origin of all and thus is the Designer. The opportunity to form a relationship with the God of Israel is available to you.
The full view and truth about life and your existence opens to the future and it is time to Step Up To Life!

Forming the relationship focuses on teachigs by the Jewish Messiah. To first recognize who the Messiah is ... comes with a study of the Hebrew Scriptures in the Tanach (also known as: Old Testament, Older Covenant—a significant example is a reading of Isaiah 52:13 to all of 53). The presence of the Messiah when on Earth comes with study of the Brit Chadeshah (the Greek Scriptures, New Testament, New Covenant).
The Messiah reveals a need to recognize problems we have in life (sin), but offers grace and forgiveness and the good news (the Gospel) that forming a commitment and a relationship with Him leads to the promise of eternal life—this relationship is available to all Jewish and Gentile peoples. And the Scriptures in fact outline the future yet to come.
What you read, study, consider and decide is your personal choice. The decision you make is personal. If truth from science and Scripture is the ultimate harmony and your life is the ultimate opportunity to make a vital decision, then making that decision as soon as possible, is now while you have this life.
Presentations on the Gospel
There are many guides to understanding the Gospel and rather than to present a long description here the following links provide good sources to visit:
First, a presentation by a Jewish believer in the Messiah is presented in the link below:
Gospel presented by a Jewish person.
The presenter is Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum who is also the author of many books that are referenced within WindowView.
Dr. Fruchtenbaum's presentation video (link).
To fully achieve understanding and accepting the promise of the Gospel one needs to also address repentance. The next link to a YouTube talk by a Gentile, Mike Winger, addresses repentance:

Gospel presented by a Gentile person.
Once over the hurdle of repenting, life completely changes and the future looks very different from what you may be seeing today!
Further Details from Convergence Area
The initial pages in this area include the Introduction (with video), Overview, and this Thesis page.
The main focus is the Gospel and this is supplemented by videos that address Messiah’s Promise, Salvation and Atonement.
Following this the WindowView offers two much more detailed summary pages. Either click a link for the Science Details or Theology Details to take a moment to read the remainder of content that covers the Convergence Thesis. The “Line of Reasoning” topic in the Science Details page is also presented in a separate video.
One REALLY important option is to view videos and links presented on the Articles page!
