Abraham Joshua Heschel and Martin Buber were giant thinkers of the twentieth century who made significant contributions to the understanding of religious consciousness and of Judaism. They wrote on various subjects, such as the Bible, the commandments, Hasidism, Zionism and Christianity, and had much in common, though they also differed on substantial points. Of special note is the intense and fruitful interaction that took place between them. Until now, scholars have not undertaken a comparative analysis of Buber and Heschel as eminent contemporary interpreters of the Jewish tradition. In this volume, Meir and Even-Chen have taken upon themselves the challenge of monitoring their agreements and disputes.This comparative study of Heschel and Buber is a pioneering work on two of the most creative and influential Jewish thinkers of the Twentieth Century. Alexander Even-Chen and Ephraim Meir have given us a well documented account of these pivotal thinkers who continue to hold a profound place in the intellectual and spiritual conversations of our time. It is a marvelous achievement. Two passionate Israeli scholars, Alexander Even-Chen and Ephraim Meir, have marked a new stage of intellectual and spiritual history in their ground-breaking comparative study of Martin Buber and Abraham Joshua Heschel, two giants of Jewish thought, spirituality, scholarship, and moral activism of the twentieth century. Heschel and Buber knew each other well even as they developed competing interpretations of revelation, Hasidism, and the Hebrew prophets. The authors also provide the valuable background of Rosenzweig, Levinas, and Christian thinkers. Jews and non-Jews alike will appreciate this lucid introduction and study in depth, highlighting issues of continuing concern and controversy, humanism and theology, religious law and the living God, the Bible, Christianity, Zionism and the State of Israel. Between them, articles relating to Martin Buber and Abraham Joshua Heschel account fl“.
