Books by Abraham Joshua Heschel

Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907–1972) was a Polish-born Jewish philosopher and theologian who fled Nazi Germany and eventually settled in New York, where he taught at the Jewish Theological Seminary. His major works include Man Is Not Alone, God in Search of Man, The Sabbath, and The Prophets. He was deeply engaged in American public life: he marched alongside Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma in 1965 and was a vocal critic of the Vietnam War. Heschel is widely regarded as one of the 20th century's most original and searching religious thinkers, read across Jewish, Christian, and secular academic circles.
