"God in Search of
Man"
by
Abraham Joshua Heschel
God in Search of Man:
A Philosophy of Judaism is
among Abraham Joshua Heschel's most comprehensive
studies of the Jewish religion. It is a work of
impeccable scholarship conveyed with absolute clarity,
in a spirit of utmost reverence and compassion.
"Religion is an answer to man's ultimate questions,"
Heschel declares on the book's first page. Religion that
forgets its roots in humanity's lived experience,
religion that inadequately addresses the earthly
realities of life, Heschel says, is false religion. And
yet, Heschel asserts that religion is not a vehicle by
which humanity draws closer to God; it is always God who
reaches out to humanity through religion. "Judaism is
God's quest for man. The Bible is a record of God's
approach to His people. More statements are found in the
Bible about God's love for Israel than about Israel's
love for God. |
