Judaism and the Doctrine of Creation

by Norbert M. Samuelson

The topic of this book is "creation." It breaks down into discussions of two distinct but interrelated What does the universe look like, and what is its origin? Texts considered come from the Hebrew scriptures, Greek philosophy, Jewish philosophy, and contemporary physics. Original conclusions follow about a diversity of topics, including the limits of human reason and religious faith, the relevance of scientific models to religious doctrine, and the nature of the relationship between God and the universe.
