Every few days I would get an email asking if there was a way to buy my book other than by winning the New Jersey Lottery. The list price for the hardback edition of New Heavens and a New Earth; The Jewish Reception of Copernican Thought is…$105. I know. Insane.
But armed with some good sales numbers Oxford University Press has released a new paperback edition. So now the wait is over. You can head over to Amazon and buy it for the bargain price of only $34.95 - that’s a third of the hardback price. It’s the perfect summer read for those lazy days round the pool or at the beach.
So for all those who wrote, thank you for your interest and support.
You can download and read the Table of Contents and the Introduction here and here.
“This fascinating volume offers both a definitive history of the Jewish encounter with Copernican thought and a carefully-nuanced analysis of how religion and science interact. A model study.”
“..a major work of historical scholarship which is sure to provide a vital point of reference in the science-religion debate for years to come”
“Très bien documenté et très dense tout en restant très agréable à lire et très accessible, rempli de bon sens et de pondération dans ses analyses et ses conclusions, très utile pour notre temps...”
“Jeremy Brown has written a deeply researched and insightful account of a fascinating chapter in the often-fraught encounter between religion and science: the impact of the Copernican revolution on Jewish thinkers from its first appearance to today. This is an enthralling work, a wonderful addition to scholarship on a subject that continues to engage us today.”
