Product Description
Faith and Doubt addresses the question of the encounter of religious faith with modern life and civilization. Dr. Norman Lamm, former President of Yeshiva University and current Chancellor is identified with modern Orthodox Judaism but his volume is addressed to a wider audience – to believing people of all faiths, students of religion, to the searchers and curious and even to the skeptics and scoffers.

The themes treated in these pages range from comparative law to metaphysics, and from moral philosophy to natural science, all from the vantage point of what has been called Modern Orthodox Judaism. This third edition updates the above, and also includes a new chapter on Law and Morality in Judaism.
