This review is from: The Writings of Martin Buber (Mass Market Paperback)

Will Herberg compiled this excellent anthology of Buber's work originally published in 1956. It had the endorsement of Buber and contains excerpts from different areas and works of Buber's writings. The first section is titled ' Of Human Existence' the second , ' Of Social Life' the third, 'Of Biblical Faith'the fourth 'Of Jewish Destiny' the fifth 'Of Teaching and Learning'The purpose of the volume according to Herberg is to ' communicate to the reader something of the power and relevance of the thought of one of the most profound religious philosophers of the century'.
