Book Synopsis Torah, Chazal and Science by : Moshe Meiselman
Download or read book Torah, Chazal and Science written by Moshe Meiselman and published by . This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The religious person in the modern world, especially the academic world, lives under fire. In every area his views are assailed as outmoded and anachronistic. In the scientific arena, in particular, new discoveries and theories constantly call into question traditional notions. In response, a new literary genre has arisen offering innovative approaches to issues of religion and science. Jewish writers have not been left behind. Torah, Chazal & Science is a unique contribution to this discussion in its emphasis on faithfulness to the Mesorah - the system of beliefs passed down from generation to generation - and on appreciation for the profundity of Chazal (the sages of the Talmud). The author's thesis is that valid solutions can come only from within the Torah's own framework. Moreover, remaining true to the classic sources is the best way to let the Torah's light shine forth. Authentic Torah sells itself. Through this book the reader will gain a new appreciation for the Torah's truth and beauty.

Book Synopsis Judaism, Physics and God by : Rabbi David W. Nelson, PhD
Download or read book Judaism, Physics and God written by Rabbi David W. Nelson, PhD and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2011-11-22 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hear the Voices of Ancient Wisdom in the Modern Language of Science Ancient traditions, whose only claim to authenticity is that they are old, run the risk of becoming old-fashioned. But if an ancient tradition can claim to be not only ancient but also timeless and contemporary, it has a far greater chance of convincing each new, young generation of its value. Such a claim requires that each generation’s retelling use the new metaphors of the new generation. —from Chapter 1 In our era, we often feel that we can either speak about God or think scientifically about the world, but never both at the same time. But what if we reconciled the two? How could the basic scientific truths of how the natural world came to be shape our understanding of our own spiritual search for meaning? In this provocative fusion of religion and science, Rabbi David Nelson examines the great theories of modern physics to find new ways for contemporary people to express their spiritual beliefs and thoughts. Nelson explores cosmology, quantum mechanics, chaos theory, relativity, and string theory in clear, non-technical terms and recasts the traditional views of our ancestors in language that can be understood in a world in which space flight, atom-smashing, and black holes are common features of our metaphorical landscape. Judaism, Physics and God reframes Judaism so that it is in harmony with the conquests of modern scientific thinking, and introduces fascinating new ways to understand your relationship with God in context of some of the most exciting scientific ideas of the contemporary world.

Book Synopsis From Priestly Torah to Pentateuch by : Christophe Nihan
Download or read book From Priestly Torah to Pentateuch written by Christophe Nihan and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christophe Nihan investigates the composition history of Leviticus, considered as a separate 'book' in the Torah/Pentateuch. In order to account for the distinct nature of the text, the author combines redaction criticism with comparative observations, cross-cultural studies in rituals, and inner-biblical exegesis. His analysis focuses on the sources used by the authors of Leviticus and the way in which they are re-interpreted in what is primarily a literary composition; on the book s relationship to the so-called 'priestly' literature in the Pentateuch; and, finally, on the place of Leviticus in the composition of the Torah as a whole. In particular, it is argued that Leviticus 1-16 (except for chapter 10) was initially composed as the conclusion to the priestly narrative in Genesis and Exodus. It reinterprets earlier ritual texts serving as check-lists for priests, transforming them into a revelation made to Moses on Mt Sinai for the whole community and thereby achieving the sacerdotal ideal of Israel as the 'priestly nation' of the world. Thus, reinterpretation of earlier sources in Lev 1-16 goes hand in hand with a redefinition of the community's identity that betrays the specific concerns of the priestly scribes in Jerusalem under Persian rule, probably during the reign of Darius I. The introduction of Lev 17-26 (27), for its part, betrays an entirely distinct historical and literary context. Through the systematic reception of Deuteronomy on one hand and the 'Book of the Covenant' (Ex 21-23) on the other, an attempt is made to close the revelation on Mt Sinai with a legislation that bridges the gap between P and other biblical codes at the time of the Torah's composition."
Download or read book Wisdom written by Yitzchak Ginsburgh and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-09 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should traditional Judaism view the incredible accomplishments and progress made by modern science? In this volume, the authors argue that not only is a unification and integration between Torah and science possible, it is necessary and indeed one of the most important goals traditional Judaism should pursue in this generation. In fact, the well-known adage by the sages, "Believe that there is wisdom among the nations" is interpreted, following the original Hebrew, to mean that those who are capable of doing so have a duty to bring the wisdom of the nations to a state of belief, a state in which it reveals rather than conceals the Creator. To do so, the Divinity inherent in nature and man, must be revealed. Over the past century and a half there have been various approaches and attempts to find a formula for unifying Torah and science. Relying on Rabbi Ginsburgh's singular knowledge of the Torah's inner dimension--Kabbalah and Chassidut--it is explained how the wisdom of the nations, i.e., modern science in all its forms, can be seen as still underdeveloped points of light that are missing dimensions of meaning that would transform them into translucent windows through which we can gaze upon the magnificence of God and the Torah. The process by which secular wisdom is transformed and becomes part of Torah is compared to the process which transforms a non-Jew wishing into a righteous convert--making him or her into an inseparable part of the Jewish people. This approach is based on the foundational notion that originally, Torah and science, or higher, Divine wisdom, and lower, mundane wisdom constituted a single, unified whole known as the primordial Torah. Subsequently they were separated by the Almighty Himself into two different categories, just as the waters were divided into the higher and lower waters on the second day of creation. Over the millennia, the greatest of the sages have labored to reunify the two categories: study of the Divine and the study of nature and humanity, even as the knowledge of nature changed from age to age. As we approach the end of the sixth millennia, we are called upon to work towards a unifying model that can bring Torah and science to complement and inspire one another.
