Shira Leibowitz Schmidt is an engineer translator essayist mother of six and teacher of English as a foreign language at Netanya Academic College in Israel. The religious convictions and expertise of the authors of this book differ. As a consequence Old Wine New Flasks explores a dialogic contrapuntal form. Many of the chapters are exchanges or debates. In this way the underlying tension of the agnostic and the religious is exposed and two faces of contemporary man and woman come into view. The authors contend in structured harmony and not taking themselves too seriously with a shared respect for the underlying unity of all knowledge. Such contention is actually a time-honored way of Jewish debate. And in another way such debate is at the heart of science. Exploring the fundamental harmony along the continuum between scientific inquiry and religion the authors of this text examine a series of encompassing issues such as purity perception authority precision and the supernatural comparing how each is handled in the realm of science art/poetry and Jewish scholarship. The result of the study provides a range of contemporary values that arrive at a respect and appreciation for the underlying unity of all knowledge. W. H. Freeman and Company hardcover
