Product Description

Synopsis
Carefully reviewing and interpreting accepted scientific principles, analogous passages of scripture, and Biblical scholarship, Dr. Schroeder arrives at conclusions so lucid that one wonders why it has taken this long in coming. The result for the reader - whether believer or sceptic, Jewish or Christian - is a totally fresh understanding of the key events in the life of the universe.

From the Author
World-wide acceptance by Jews and Christians,
Now in six languages, this book speaks to experts and laypersons in religion and science alike. If you have questions concerning how the Six Days of Genesis match with the 15 billion year old age of our universe, how fossils fit with the Bible's concept of evolution, what about cavemen from the Biblicial perspective, this book provides the answers, leading the reader by the hand through Biblical interpretation and scientific theory. Always the Bible's point of view, as understood in ancient Talmudic and kabalistic commentary is presented, with no modern bias attempting to bend the Bible to match the science or the science to match the Bible. These's no need to bend. They match!

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant reconciliation of faith and science., 20 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Dr. Schroeder has demonstrated that our understanding of science has progressed to a point which can reconcile two seemingly exclusive positions. When Einstein showed the world that time was relative, he simply caught up to something clearly declared in Psalm 90. It has taken the better part of a century for someone to make a case which, in hindsight, is quite obvious. This is not to say that Dr. Scroeder should not be accorded every credit. For sometimes, true genius is evident when someone sees something new in the familiar as opposed to something new in the never seen. Schroeder skillfully combines a scientists critical thinking and a keen cosmological awareness with the the surprisingly astute observations of the kabalists of the Middle Ages. A must read for the skeptic!

5.0 out of 5 stars A clear, concise, Biblically based study of creation, 7 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Dr.Schroeder's book is clear and concise, aligning a Biblically based explanation with up to date scientific discoveries. It will appeal to the average layman while satisfying the intellectual cravings of those familiar with Relativity, Cosmology and Quantum Mechanics. The books goes into adequate detail to show that the modern understanding of Cosmology was understood by those who knew the revelation in the Hebrew Bible much earlier. It firmly establishes a rational foundation for belief in a God of creation, the God of the Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb presentation of the harmony between science& religion, 22 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Dr. Schroeders book explains that the Biblical story of creation and the scientific theory of the Big Bang are in agreement; the world was created in 6 days AND 15 billion years, simultaneously. Using relativity, experimental and theoretical science, physics and the Jewish sages, he shows how science and religion are compatible. It is easier to read if you have a basic background in physics and math, but I think he has done a wonderful job of simplifying the theories to a level that someone without this knowledge can still easily read and understand this book. Highly recommended!
