Known most widely for his role in the civil rights and peace
movements of the 1960s, Abraham Joshua Heschel made major scholarly
contributions to the fields of biblical studies, rabbinics,
medieval Jewish philosophy, Hasidism, and mysticism. Yet, his most
ambitious scholarly achievement, his three-volume study of Rabbinic
Judaism, is only now appearing in English. Heschel's great insight
is that the world of rabbinic thought can be divided into two types
or schools, those of Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Ishmael, and that the
historic disputes between the two are based on fundamental
differences over the nature of revelation and religion.
Furthermore, this disagreement constitutes a basic and necessary
ongoing polarity within Judaism between immanence and
transcendence, mysticism and rationalism, neo-Platonism and
Aristotelianism. Heschel then goes on to show how these two
fundamental theologies of revelation may be used to interpret a
great number of topics central to Judaism.
