***National Jewish Book Awards 2012, Finalist***
Dorot Foundation Award for Modern Jewish Thought and Experience
An impassioned, erudite, thoroughly researched, and beautifully reasoned book
from one of the most admired religious thinkers of our time that argues not only
that science and religion are compatible, but that they complement each
other—and that the world needs both.
"Atheism deserves better than the new atheists," states Rabbi Jonathan Sacks,
"whose methodology consists of criticizing religion without understanding it,
quoting texts without contexts, taking exceptions as the rule, confusing folk
belief with reflective theology, abusing, mocking, ridiculing, caricaturing, and
demonizing religious faith and holding it responsible for the great crimes
against humanity.
