Reviews

"One of the most compelling books about being human that has been written in this century." --The Boston Globe "Prose that sings and soars in the warm, intuitive tradition of the great 18th-century Hasidic leaders from whom [Heschel] is descended . . . God in Search of Man is subtitled 'A Philosophy of Judaism, ' but it speaks to all those for whom the Bible is a holy book." --Time
