Controversial author (banned by leading Orthodox rabbis in Israel and the US) Rabbi Natan (Nosson) Slifkin's long-awaited new book on Torah, creation and evolution is finally available. The Challenge of Creation: Judaism's Encounter with Science, Cosmology & Evolution is Rabbi Slifkin's latest attempt to reconcile current scientific findings with Orthodox Jewish beliefs. It is a fascinating look at the profound topics of the nature of scientific laws, the age of the universe, and the evolution of life. The Challenge Of Creation discusses a range of approaches to Torah and science, and also presents its own unified approach to all these issues. It shows that Judaism can approach these topics in a sophisticated and honest manner, without being either dogmatic or apologetic.
The book has a foreword by Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, Executive Vice President of the Orthodox Union.
