Originally published in English in 1949, The Prophetic Faith
features Martin Buber's readings of select biblical
prophets--especially Isaiah and Deborah, the only female prophet
and judge in the Hebrew Bible. In an approach that combines
insights from biblical prophecy with a concern for events in the
here and now, Buber outlines his interpretation of biblical
revelation. Infused with an anti-institutional--some have said
anarchic--sensibility, Buber discusses the notion of kingship as
portrayed in the Bible and provides an account of human suffering
in an extended discussion of the Book of Job. Anticipating those
today who describe themselves as "spiritual but not religious,"
Buber gives pride of place to a personal God outside of formal
religious and legal strictures. Featuring a new introduction by Jon
D. Levenson, The Prophetic Faith encourages a renewed appreciation
for the Hebrew Bible and its relevance to the practical challenges
of the present day.
