description: In The Hebrew Bible and Science, Dr. Harry Hafner has undertaken a unique and difficult to create a digest to the Hebrew Bible that offers illumination and a scientific comparison and interpretation of this difficult work. The book uses a rigorous set of scientific standards to analyze The Hebrew Bible from an ethical-moral, scientific, social and historical viewpoint. Dr. Hafner has coupled painstaking research with a wide-ranging inquiry to produce this comprehensive resource. Meant for the faithful, the atheist, and anyone in between, The Hebrew Bible and Science covers an astonishing amount of ground, using science to generate a wholly new look at an ancient text. After setting forth a group of definitions and demonstrations easy to follow by the layman reader, the book goes on to discuss the nature of Judaism in a social context and to analyze the text from a scientific standpoint, including close study of a plethora of topics from Genesis to a glimpse of Jewish Oppression. The Hebrew Bible and Science is an extensive, impressive work, delineating difficult concepts in articulate prose. It is, perhaps, the only book that has seamlessly referenced the Ten Commandments as axioms for the backbone of the celebrated text and finds a surprising reason to include results from Quantum Mechanics in the same paragraph. Inspired by the memory of his late mother’s unwavering belief, Dr. Hafner has intertwined science and the base of Jewish faith to create a unique work, and in doing so, sheds light on one of the most important religious works of our time.
