The author states his purpose in his no-nonsense Preface: To present representative selections from the writings of "four of the most significant religious thinkers of our time"--Jacques Maritain, Nicolas Berdyaev, Martin Buber, and Paul Tillich.

NO OF PAGES: 313 SUB CAT I: Philosophy SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: This book has changed the spiritual awareness of countless readers. Written by one of the twentieth century's greatest theologians, "Judaism and Modern Man" explores the ways in which the Jewish religion relates to our society, and to us as individuals, and how we can draw this knowledge into our everyday lives.
