Very good hard cover in a very good dust jacket. With a clear and succinct style, this selection of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook's writings grants readers a window into the rich, original, and creative--if occasionally dense--insights of the preeminent Halachist, Kabbalist, and Torah scholar. The book elucidates Kook's thoughts on a range of fascinating topics, including whether the Torah's account of creation can be reconciled with modern science, the Torah's view on vegetarianism, the purpose of death, why bad things happen to good people, the nature of God, and how to balance Torah study and work. The enduring wisdom of one of the great theological minds of the 20th century is laid bare in this fascinating book.

About the Author
Rabbi Chanan Morrison grew up in Pennsylvania, and graduated with a B.A. in Mathematics from Yeshiva University (New York). Pursuing advanced Talmudic studies in Jerusalem, he spent the next seven years studying in Jerusalem yeshivot, including the famed Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav, founded by Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook in 1924.
Rabbi Morrison taught Jewish studies for several years in Harrisburg, PA, before returning to Israel. He and his family subsequently settled down in a community in the Judean Desert. In an effort to maintain contact with former students, Rabbi Morrison began emailing articles on the weekly Torah portion based on the philosophical writings of Rabbi A. I. Kook. Over the years, this email list grew at a phenomenal rate; it now benefits thousands of readers from all over the world. He is frequently featured on the Torah section of the Israel National News website, and his work can be read on his own website at ravkooktorah.org.
