Fields of Heaven

A thought-provoking novel about Jonathan, a physicist, who embarks on a quest to understand the very essence of our existence.

While recovering at home from a biking accident, Jonathan's restless and analytical mind reflects on the essence of Creation, the Human Soul, and the Biblical story of Genesis. This produces an original interpretation of Genesis, posing questions that are shaking his beliefs about reality to the core.

What is reality? Does the human soul exist only within our conventional concept of time and space, or does it involve something else - possibly stemming from the Divine as some religions suggest?

Driven to understand if faith, metaphysics, the mind, and quantum mechanics can be unified, Jonathan abandons his high-tech position and returns to academia to pursue unconventional research supported by new and old university colleagues. From people with diverse religious and secular backgrounds, he gains insights that lead to physical experiments, probing how mind and matter interact, and into philosophical principles that guide his thinking.

Jonathan's goal is nothing less than to find a theory that may unify natural and supernatural phenomena into one all-inclusive framework.

Originally written in Hebrew, the story is set in modern-day Israel, combining scenes from daily life with colorful explorations of the natural beauty of the country.
