Rabbi Dr. Natan Slifkin — better known as the Zoo Rabbi — writes at the meeting point of Torah and the natural sciences. Founder and director of the Biblical Museum of Natural History in Beit Shemesh, he has spent three decades asking what Scripture, Talmud and midrash actually say about the animal world, and how those texts stand alongside modern zoology, cosmology and evolutionary biology. His writing on science and Torah became the subject of a well-known controversy in the charedi world, a debate he takes up directly in Rationalism vs. Mysticism. Five titles, from the mythical creatures of Sacred Monsters to the evolutionary questions of The Challenge of Creation.
