"What can a thoughtful observant Jew believe today, in a world of such bewildering technology and conflicting ideologies? To build on a firm foundation, the author begins with the Mishna tractate "Avoth", the concise but profound ethical teachings of the Talmudic Sages, with vital commentary of Maimonedes (Ramba, Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon). This is given in English in entirety, together with other important writings from Maimonedes' towering intellect. On this foundation the author formulates a coherent system of philosophy that is truly Jewish and modern, for the thinking Jew of our time. The second part of the volume is a series of essays on such highly relevant themes as religion, science, history, Divine prophecy, free will, and probability. With his broad knowledge of both authentic Judaism and science, the author recaptures and interprets traditional Jewish ideas in a fresh, encompassing perspective to offer in sum a systematic outline for a modern Jewish philosophy.".
