Reviews

"[Schroeder] has written an intriguing book that will stimulate thinking about the world, God, and Judaism."--Jewish Book World
"A brilliant mix of ancient exegesis and modern science that will convince some and infuriate others. Schroeder's book demands the attention of anyone who wonders if God must be exiled from the modern, enlightened mind."--David J. Wolpe, author of Why Faith Matters
"A remarkable book. The science as well as the meaning of this universe and of life are discussed with insight, rigor, and depth along with a perceptive, challenging and scholarly view of the Old Testament. Great for a thoughtful reader!"--Charles H. Townes, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley
"A remarkable tour de force, combining science, theology and biblical exegesis in a most compelling and significant way, casting a new light on how we view God and our own place within the world."--Jerusalem Post
"Full of paradox, existential tensions, and spiritual and intellectual epiphany, the book is another gift to humanity from a scientist who is also a great man, a deep thinker, a spiritual counselor and a wonderful teacher."--Rabbi David Lapin
"Gerry Schroeder is one of a kind. Not only does he have a complete command of science but a complete command of the Biblical texts. As a result, he takes viewers on a fantastic journey that is both fun and extremely profound."--Simcha Jacobovici, bestselling author and award-winning filmmaker
