This book was written for the Jew who seeks evidence and proofs that the principal beliefs of Judaism are indeed true. Readable and friendly, inspiring and refreshing, this book presents the main issues of Judaism in depth. It includes compelling evidence to there being a Creator, evidence to the Divine origin of our Torah, to there being a spiritual soul and the World To Come, and Divine guidance throughout Jewish history. It discusses the problems with Evolution, and it deals with the Holocaust and human suffering. It also provides many other sources for further reading, and a glossary of terms. This edition is recommended for readers with a strong Torah background, seeking an informed, yet less secular, approach.

Misleading and Misinformed,
By
This review is from: Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (Hardcover)
This book was one of the most abysmal and intellectually devoid books I have ever had the displeasure of reading. In "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" Rabbi Waldman displays his embarrassing lack of knowledge about biology, cosmology, and modern scientific theories. He repeatedly makes unwarranted and incorrect assumptions and simplifications regarding scientific theories, and then basks in the absurdity that he himself has constructed. He unabashedly substitutes God for a true and honest understanding of common physical phenomena. My only hope is that future scientists do not read this book and walk away with the message that Rabbi Waldman is clearly trying to send: "Don't bother studying the world around you, enjoy your ignorance and attribute it all to God." This trend of "I don't know the answer, therefore it must be God" is not only arrogant and logically fallacious, but pervasive throughout this awful book.His example of the orange tree in the first chapter would make even the most amateur high-school biologist laugh. His repeated references to evolution being a coincidence or accident are extremely misleading; the processes of natural selection and evolution involve neither coincidence nor accident. Perhaps Rabbi Waldman would do better to stay within his area of expertise, and not wander so haphazardly through the realm of science of which he clearly has no grasp. There are far better ways for religious people to confirm their beliefs without subjecting themselves to Rabbi Waldman's ignorance. I would start by taking a biology class.

This Book Is A "Must Have",
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (Original Edition) (Hardcover)
I read the book beyond a reasonable doubt by Rabbi Shmuel Waldman and I must say that I loved it so much that I couldn't even put it down! I read this great book more than five times and I constantly read over some of the different chapters in it all of the time. This book shows how the world must have been created by a creator and it knocks out the misleading lies of evolution. It shows that the bible must have been given at sinai and it shows eternal existance. The book shows divine providence in jewish history and plenty more. I feel that it's a great book in fact many of my friends have read it and they have all really enjoyed it alot. It is a "must read" for all young and old alike.
5.0 out of 5 stars
