When Judaism Meets Science is a rare masterpiece of a book, the best of its kind, well researched, brilliantly argued, lucidly written, totally engrossing, and a model of moral and intellectual honesty. I consider it required reading for anyone intent on charting a course where religion and science must both have something to say--the kind of book that you think you have been waiting for all your life, and happily discover that the wait is over. --Lawrence A. Hoffman, Professor Emeritus of Liturgy, Worship and Ritual, Hebrew Union College This potpourri of essays can be read one at a time and savored in any order. They discuss a broad array of different subjects, such as how to reconcile science and Torah, how Jewish wisdom can help us grapple with technological change, and Jewish moral insight into such issues as gun control and controlling substances that affect allergies. Each essay reflects Price's careful research, passionate analysis, and good sense. This book will stimulate your thinking and give hours of enjoyment. --David A. Teutsch, Wiener Professor Emeritus, Reconstructionist Rabbinical College When Judaism Meets Science explores some of the most important and fascinating questions at the intersection of scientific thought and religious living. In a clear, engaging way, Roger Price helps break the myth that science and religion are inherently in conflict, and instead educates us on how we can find wisdom from both sources. --Geoffrey A. Mitelman, Founding Director, Sinai and Synapses
