5.0 out of 5 stars The classic theological work of the 20th century, December 30, 1997
By A Customer
A profound work that reflects on how man can apprehend God and have an encounter with the ineffable, and the radical amazement that man experiences when experiencing the presence of the Divine. Heshcel's major themes include the problems of doubts and faith; What Judaism means by teaching that God is One; The essence of man and the problem of man's needs. He discusses the definition of religion in genral, and of Judaism in specific, man's yearning for spirituality; Judaism as a pattern for life, and a study of what piety really is. One of the few books to reecive accolades from Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Jews, as well as many Christians.

5.0 out of 5 stars an explanation of religion, April 20, 2003
By Michael Lewyn (Jacksonville, FL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Heschel's book is a description of faith rather than an argument for faith: not an attempt to persuade the faithless, but an explanation of how the religious person thinks. I especially liked his discussion of prayer and ritual; Heschel explains, for example, that set written prayers exist to help us think about our faith as we read them. MUCH easier to read than his more famous book "God In Search Of Man"; I wish I had read this book first.

5.0 out of 5 stars . . . the One who IS . . ., July 1, 2000
A thinking person who doesn't believe in God, someone who is searching for God, or a believer who wants to know God more deeply -- all will be touched by this profound portrayal of "the One who IS." It is a beautifully written treasure of wisdom.
