01578--Heschel, Abraham Joshua

Heschel, Abraham Joshua (1905–1972). A scion of a Hassidic dynasty and one of the leading Jewish theologians in the United States in the 20th century. He was twice invited to the White House to speak on issues of social justice and was a friend and ally of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His scholarship touched on every facet of Jewish thought. The Sabbath and God in Search of Man are representative of his style and religious thought.
