Misunderstanding physics and astronomy -- Misunderstanding linguistics and epistemology -- Misunderstanding psychology -- Misunderstanding medicine -- Misunderstanding history -- Interpreting creation : God, the world, and the physical sciences -- Interpreting redemption : the world, humanity, and the human sciences -- Interpreting revelation : humanity, God, and Jewish history.
Summary: In Jewish Faith and Modern Science, renowned Jewish philosopher and rabbi Norbert Samuelson argues that modern Jewish philosophy has died--that it has failed to address the challenges to traditional beliefs posed by scientific advances, and is therefore no longer relevant to Jews today. Samuelson confronts these challenges head-on, critically reflecting on how all of the forms of contemporary Judaism, from orthodox to liberal to secular to new age, can address questions raised by the latest scientific advances. Considering questions ranging from the existence of the soul, to the relationship be.
