A Passion for Truth de Abraham Joshua Heschel

A Passion for Truth: Jewish Lights Classic Reprint

Autor Abraham Joshua Heschel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 1995

It is comparatively easy to preach joy and fervor, but to demand Truth is like shaping marble without tools. And so the Kotzker] went looking for a few surging people and called loudly upon their souls to bend their conceit and see the Truth beneath the soil....

This was not a philosophical inquiry into the nature of Truth but a scrutiny of men s lives in relation to Truth. Religion, the Kotzker maintained, was not simply an act of adopting a system of beliefs and certain modes of conduct; test and trial were needed, and one had to ascertain through introspection whether one s beliefs were genuine or not, and whether one acted out Truth or lived a life of pretense....

Kierkegaard made it his task to reintroduce Christianity into Christendom. The Kotzker sought to reintroduce authenticity to Jewish life. Kierkegaard s posthumous impact has been powerful. But has the Kotzker affected Jewish self-understanding? from "A Passion for Truth"

Notă biografică

Abraham Joshua Heschel was born in Poland in 1907, received his early education from a yeshiva (a school for Talmudic or rabbinical study) and earned his doctorate from the University of Berlin. In 1939, six weeks before the Nazi invasion of Poland, he left for London and then for the United States, where he taught at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City from 1945 until his death in 1972. An activist as well as a scholar and a teacher, Heschel was deeply engaged in social movements for peace, civil rights and interfaith understanding.
