Between Heschel and Buber - Alexander Even-Chen

. .

Résumé :
Abraham Joshua Heschel and Martin Buber were giant thinkers of the twentieth century who made significant contributions to the understanding of religious consciousness and of Judaism. Though they had much in common, writing on various subjects, such as the Bible, the commandments, Hasidism, Zionism and Christianity, they also diferred on substantial points. In this unprecedented volume, Meir and Even-Chen have taken upon themselves the challenge of monitoring their agreements and disputes.
