Synopsis:
The topic of this book is "creation." It breaks down into discussions of two distinct but interrelated questions: What does the universe look like, and what is its origin? Texts considered come from the Hebrew scriptures, Greek philosophy, Jewish philosophy, and contemporary physics. Original conclusions follow about a diversity of topics, including the limits of human reason and religious faith, the relevance of scientific models to religious doctrine, and the nature of the relationship between God and the universe.
Book Description: A discussion of what the doctrine of creation can mean to anyone who takes seriously the teachings of the classic rabbis, ancient and modern philosophers, and contemporary scientists. It comprises a unique synthesis of religious belief and philosophical speculation.
