Tomorrow's God: The Hebrew Lord in an Age of Science

What is the relationship between the Hebrew Bible and modern science? To answer this question Robert Goldman invites the reader on a carefully guided intellectual journey spanning centuries of theological philosophical and scientific thought before arriving at his provocative conclusion. He begins with the Hebrew Bible examining the ancient concepts of Olam and Yahweh whose meanings are often lost in translation. Using these concepts as a lens he explores Spinozas heretical (at the time) theological views probes Einsteins theory of space-time and confronts formidable questions about human capacity for evil through the writings of Elie Wiesel and Etty Hillesum. Using simple accessible language Goldman ties together these diverse perspectives--as well as those of Plato Maimonides Godel and others--and interweaves them with his own insights. Ultimately he crafts a hopeful vision of a humankind and a God who are evolving toward one another fueled by good actions broader consciousness and deeper human connection.
