Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) was one of the twentieth
century's most influential Jewish thinkers, a respected theologian
and enthusiastic civil rights activist who marched to Selma with
Martin Luther King, Jr. His theology emphasized the immediacy of
wonder and awe, yet his writing was studded with signs of his vast
knowledge of traditional scholarship. No other Jewish thinker of
note in the twentieth century used such a wide range of texts so
extensively. Abraham Joshua Heschel and the Sources of Wonder is
the first book to demonstrate how Heschel's political,
intellectual, and spiritual commitments were embedded in his
reading of Jewish tradition. By shedding new light on how Heschel's
theological project reconciled the demands of tradition and the
modern world, Michael Marmur offers an inspirational lesson in how
contemporary Jewish thought can embrace both the texts of the past
and the challenges of the present.
