Overview
Dr. Tsesis describes the path he traversed from religious ignorance to strong belief in the Jewish religion. Tsesis assigns a special place to the proof of his conclusion that religion and science—especially in light of recent discoveries—are not antagonists, and are, in fact, in complete harmony, supplementing and not excluding each other. In the spirit of ecumenism Tsesis speaks about coexistence of different religions, which share the common objective of assurance of perpetual survival of the human race. The unifying theme of this book, however, is the beauty of the Jewish religion and a possible answer to the question of why we remain Jews.
Reviews
“Very highly recommended for the students of Judaism, members of the Jewish community, as well as both community and academic library Judaic Studies collections.” —Midwest Book Review
"A welcome and warm-hearted book that provides both inspiration and amusement." —Michael Medved, Amerian radio show host, author, political commentator and film critic
"Why We Remain Jews: The Path to Faith is a valuable and wise reflection of Jewish history [and] Jewish survival." —Rabbi David J. Wolpe, author and public speaker
"The material in the book is an interesting journey. This is an example of a scientist accepting that the complexity of life is real and that the likelihood of this complexity arising by chance is scientifically unlikely." —Gerald L. Schroeder, author of God According to God: A Physicist Proves Why We've Been Wrong About God All Along
