Description
"Long ago the question of whether faith and science are friends or foes was resolved to the satisfaction of most. This commentary takes it for axiomatic that the two are not merely compatible but indeed symbiotic. It further accepts that Torah Min Hashamayim is a gift from heaven that we are still in the process of unwrapping. As for methodology, it pursues a "close reading" of the biblical verses that it has chosen for reflection and of selected rabbinic sources that relate to these verses. Whereas some commentaries feel it is a virtue to impose agreement between divergent traditions, the aim of this work is to allow each precious text to impart its own message. At its heart the biblical revelation is of course a coherent whole, setting out to replace an older mythological perception of ourselves and our physical and spiritual world with its torah view. That view is Destination Torah's quest."--BOOK JACKET.
