torscibooks

 

There are many books on the subject of Torah and Science.  However, they are often spread over many different publishers and some are somewhat hard to find. 

 

Each entry is linked to a website where you can purchase the book, or the author’s website.

Although in general, the higher up on the list of books, the better I think to book is, the list is not going to be an absolute best to worst ranking.

 

Eventually I will have a short description/review of all the books which I have read.

 

Thinking about Creation

This is a wonderful book on physics and torah.  Although the book centers around the age of the universe issue (as do many), it does so in a very nice way.  This book reads almost as a typical popular science book about physics, but with the connection to Torah interwoven throughout.  The author is very modest, and although mentions the non-exactness and extrapolative nature of science, he also respects its findings.  He admits that some of the things he suggests might be shown wrong later, and never relies on exact “aha! see!  I’ve proved it!” arguments.  I highly recommend this book.  Unfortunately, it is quite pricy ($40), but sometimes you can find it cheap from a third party seller on Amazon. 

 

 

Biblical Creation and Science

This book deals squarely with the age of the universe issue of Torah and Science.  It is very nice, in that not only does it show no contradiction between Torah and Science, but it goes day by day through the story of Creation in the Torah and explains scientifically what is going on each day.  Although some explanations are a tad stretched, they are all reasonable, and make fore a very good read.
