Divine Pathos and Human Being: The Theology of Abraham Joshua Heschel

British Methodist minister and adult theological educator, Chester begins with a brief biography of Heschel (1907-72), a refugee scholar from Hitler's Europe who became a significant Jewish theologian and activist in the US. Then he explores his style and method of presentation and his place in the tradition and discipline of theology, and focuses on the divine pathos, his major legacy to modern theology. A final chapter surveys responses to his work. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
