Emunah and Physics
What happens when a theoretical physicist takes on the deepest questions challenging Jewish belief? Emunah and Physics is a bold, brilliant response to centuries of skepticism and a framework for reclaiming faith. With clarity, humility, and intellectual firepower, Dr. Berel Leib Epstein dissects everything from dinosaurs to the flood, from probability theory to prophecy, and shows how science, archaeology, and Torah not only coexist—but illuminate one another.
