Abraham Joshua Heschel Bücher

Eine große Liebe zur Schöpfung spricht aus Abraham Joshua Heschels Schrift über den Sabbat, einem Klassiker der jüdischen Spiritualität. Den Ablauf der Sieben-Tage-Woche durch den Wochenfeiertag zu unterbrechen, zählt im Judentum zu den wichtigsten Geboten und als höchstes Fest vor allen anderen. Für Rabbiner Heschel wird darin deutlich, worum es im Judentum geht: nicht die Aneignung des Raumes und seiner Dinge, sondern die Heiligung der Zeit und ihre Durchdringung mit Ewigkeit. Eine kompakte und verständliche Schrift, die vor Augen stellt, was den Kern biblischer Religion ausmacht.

The collection showcases the essays of a prominent figure in Judaic studies, highlighting his intellectual depth and insight. Compiled and edited by his daughter, Susannah Heschel, it offers readers a unique perspective on his contributions to the field. This compilation serves as a testament to his scholarly virtuosity and enduring influence.

Offers insights that speak to the essence of prayer.

"Abraham Joshua Heschel, descended from a long line of Orthodox rabbis, fled Europe to escape the Nazis. He made the insights of traditional Jewish spirituality come alive for American Jews while speaking out boldly against war and racial injustice"-- Provided by publisher

Abraham Joshua Heschel was one of the most revered religious leaders of the 20th century, and God in Search of Man and its companion volume, Man Is Not Alone, two of his most important books, are classics of modern Jewish theology. God in Search of Man combines scholarship with lucidity, reverence, and compassion as Dr. Heschel discusses not man's search for God but God's for man--the notion of a Chosen People, an idea which, he writes, "signifies not a quality inherent in the people but a relationship between the people and God." It is an extraordinary description of the nature of Biblical thought, and how that thought becomes faith.
