Faith, Science and Orthodoxy

Dr. Kellner is a professor of Jewish Thought at the University of Haifa and Senior Fellow at the Institute for Philosophy, Political Theory, and Religion of the Shalem Center, Jerusalem. He is the author of numerous books and articles in the field of Jewish philosophy.This article appears in issue 6 of Conversations, the journal of the Institute for Jewish Ideas and Ideals.
