Seasons
of Life (The Torah Universe) by Nosson Slifkin Hardcover - 300 pages Available at: |
Philologos Comment:
From the dust jacket: "When G-d created the universe, He used the
Torah as the genetic blueprint. The Torah Universe is a multi-volume series that
explores the manifestation of the Torah in the natural world. Analyzing the
Torah enables us to understand the natural world; exploring the natural world
helps us to better grasp the paterns of the Torah. And learning of the
synchronization between the two leaves one with a profound appreciation of the
wisdom of G-d.
"Seasons of Life, the first volume of The Torah Universe series, explores how the Jewish year, including the festivals and the months, are reflected in the natural cycle of the seasons and the lives of plants and animals."
That says it all better than anything I could come up with! I really enjoyed this book especially the appendices on fractal mathematics, Torah and DNA and the flow of time. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series if they are all up to this caliber.
