In this book, Judaism and the Scientific Spirit, Rabbi W. Gunther Plaut indicates how Judaism and Science contribute to a better understanding and a more meaningful approach to the world. He expounds a frank yet critical and forthright approach to the interrelationship between Judaism and Science. He sees both in their broad perspectives as concerned with different aspects of life - science with the knowledge of the cosmos and religion with values that make life worthwhile.

The year 1633 was not a happy one for Western man. In Europe, Christians were locked in the bloody sectarian struggle of the Thirty Years War, which was then at its midpoint. In America, the colonists were battling desperately with nature and with the Indian, and had zealously transplanted to the New World the intolerance which they should have left behind in the Old. Eastern Europe was convulsed with internal upheavals, and soon the economic distress of the peasants and peons would erupt and find the hapless Jewish masses its first and foremost victim.
