The intellectual legacy of one of the twentieth century's greatest
religious thinkers—explained by a leading theologian of our day.
"It is only through experiencing the contradictions in human
existence, through being overwhelmed by the divine presence,
through the finite human being feeling terror-stricken by the
infinite majesty of God that one can develop an authentic religious
personality." —David Hartman (From Chapter 6) Rabbi Joseph B.
Soloveitchik (1903–1993) profoundly influenced modern Orthodox
Judaism in the United States—and Judaism as a whole—by opening
up a discourse between the tradition of Torah study and Western
philosophical thought. The future of both religious Zionism in
Israel and of Orthodoxy in America hangs to a great extent on how
we interpret his intellectual legacy. Dr. David Hartman’s
penetrating analysis of Rabbi Soloveitchik’s work reveals a
Judaism committed to intellectual courage, integrity and openness.
A renowned theologian and philosopher, Hartman meticulously
explores the subtlety and complexity of Rabbi Soloveitchik’s
theological thought, exposing a surprising intersection of halakhic
tradition and modern Western theology—a confrontation that
deepens and expands our spiritual understanding. Hartman’s
provocative interpretation bears witness to the legitimacy of
remaining loyal to the Judaic tradition without sacrificing one’s
intellectual freedom and honesty.
