Old Wine, New Flasks: Reflections on Science and Jewish Tradition (Hoffmann, Roald; Schmidt, Shira Leibowitz)
Hi-Res PDFAbstract
Together with Shira Leibowitz Schmidt, engineer, translator, essayist, mother of six, and teacher of English as a foreign language at Netanya Academic College in Israel, Hoffmann joined forces to create "our modest effort to look at issues of science and Jewish religious tradition." Their thesis is that "science and religion are both ways of trying to understand the world, to find meaning in that world's beauty and terror." They argue that science and Jewish religious tradition, although admittedly different in many ways, nevertheless share the belief that the actions of human beings matter and that there is an underlying order to the universe.
