Book Summary
Known most widely for his active role in the civil rights and peace movements of the 1960s, Abraham Heschel made major scholarly contributions to the fields of biblical studies, rabbinics, and Hasidism. His most ambitious scholarly achievement, his three-volume study of rabbinic Judaism written in Hebrew, is available for the first time in English. "Without seeing how thorough and well-disciplined has been (Heschel's) study... one cannot fully appreciate his achievement...This is clearly a work of gigantic proportions". -- Jacob Neusner
