No Jewish thinker of the middle half of this 20th century has left
such an indelible mark upon his times as has Abraham Joshua
Heschel. A distinguished professor at the Jewish Theological
Seminary in New York from 1945 until his death in 1972, Rabbi
Heschel sought in both his writing and teaching to expose the depth
and meaning of Judaism along with its relevance to our contemporary
world, and in a special way to contemporary Christianity. Rabbi
Heschel was also in the forefront of the great human concerns of
his day. He dealt with the problems of the young and of the elderly
at two White House Conferences; he marched with Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr., and lead protests against American policy in Vietnam,
participating in numerous civil rights marches and peace rallies.
He worked tirelessly for the betterment of Jewish-Christian
relations and played a key role in the deliberations of Vatican II.
The Human and the Holy provides a fascinating overview of the
spirituality of Rabbi Heschel, underscoring its meaning for both
Jew and Christian. For as Heschel's spirituality makes abundantly
clear, Jews and Christians share much on a religious, personal, and
social level, while shedding greater light on the roots and
challenges of their own particular faith tradition.
