NO OF PAGES: 298 SUB CAT I: Jewish Thought SUB CAT II: Theology SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: "Between God and Man" is an example of how, throughout his career, Abraham Heschel was able to translate the full range of Biblical ideas and values into modern idiom. His work can best be understood as an intelligent, mature, and well-reasoned attempt to create a viable synthesis between the devotion and learning of traditional Judaic thought and the philosophy and scholarship of Western civilization. By blending the imperatives of Biblical, Hasidic, and scientific thought, Heschel gave us a deeper understanding of God and man that is both spiritually satisfying and intellectually honest.NOTES: Purchased from "The Book Market" discount books.
