No other Jewish thinker of note in the twentieth century used such a wide range of texts so extensively. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbraham Joshua Heschel and the Sources of Wonder\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book to demonstrate how Heschel’s political, intellectual, and spiritual commitments were embedded in his reading of Jewish tradition. By shedding new light on how Heschel’s theological project reconciled the demands of tradition and the modern world, Michael Marmur offers an inspirational lesson in how contemporary Jewish thought can embrace both the texts of the past and the challenges of the present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140172333296,"sku":"9781442625839","price":87.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442625839_p0.jpg?v=1763809653","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442625839","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
