Husband.Wiie Team
Shows Faith, Reason
Not Contradictory
A husband-wife team—Charles
and Betty G. Schwartz—has
pooled its resourceful thinking
about the meaning of Judaism
to them in their daily liVing
and written a thought-provok-
ing book, "Faith Through Rea-
son." It has just been published
by the National Women's League
of the United Synagogue of
America (3080 B'wy, NY27).
While this volume deals with
the basic principles of Judaism
and 'of Jewry's way of life,
it will be f on. nd of- great
value by readers :stemming from
all faiths. It is, asp the title
states, an evaluation of "faith
through reason"—and faith may
be accepted here, in the au-
thors' interpretation, in the gen-
eral, universal sense.
Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz treat
their theme as "a modern inter-
pretation of Judaism." They
prove that faith and reason are
not contradictory. They discuSs
"The Nature of God," prophetic
and inspired revelations, ethical
codes, sin and retribution, resur-
rection and immortality, prayer
and worship. 'They reach the
conclusion that life it a "thrill-
ing adventure." Their .Work will
be found very inspiring. It is a
good guide to both -faith and
reason.
