Abraham Joshua Heschel was one of the most revered religious leaders of the 20th century, and God in Search of Man and its companion volume , Man Is Not Alone , two of his most important books, are classics of modern Jewish theology.

It is an extraordinary description of the nature of Biblical thought, and how that thought becomes faith.
