Judith Virta
Judith is married and has one daughter. She has a B.A. in Psychology from York University, Toronto, and an MSc. in Clinical/Counseling Psychology from Abilene Christian University, Texas. She works in the Psychology Services as part of the Psychiatric Unit of the local hospital in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, and she has a private practice in the community. Judith enjoys research on various levels, and enjoys writing science-fiction and mystery. She loves to travel and explore unusual environments.
As a scientist and the daughter of an International Bible Scholar and professor of Theology, she has had first hand experience with research/scientific method as well as the complexities of Biblical interpretation and current interpretive paradigms.
"I believe that there is a purpose for everything in the Universe. I am a builder of systems and theories so science-fiction is the perfect vehicle for me to read as well as to express my own ideas.
"In quenching my curiosity about our Earthly existence I have delved into Quantum Physics, Cosmology, Field Theory, Philosophy, Theology, Synchronicity, Astronomy and my own field of Psychology. I realized that in all these areas there was a common set of events, processes and mechanism at play, and that they are spoken of in the Bible, though the current Bible interpretation tends, for the most part, to stay dogmatic. I see the possibility that each generation understands the Bible according to its general level of advancement, and that we are currently privy to an understanding of the events of Daniel and Revelation that was not possible before. The advent of Cosmology, Quantum Physics, Field Theory, and Astronomy add enormous insights into the actual meaning of Bible prophecy, and yet the current interpretations remain unchallenged. I add a new interpretation for two specific prophetic events in the Bible.
"I wrote this book because I became aware that science and theology are integrally connected. They are different disciplines trying to understand the same thing. My novel presents a paradigm shift for the understanding of black holes and the concept of Hell using two Biblical prophecies and Mayan timelines. My characters grow through struggles with facts, faith, and evil. They discover that evil turns upon itself and destroys itself. The novel is layered with discovery that parallels the layers of humankind's learning and the steps we take toward enlightenment."
