God in Search of Man: A Philosophy of Judaism

God in Search of Man combines scholarship with lucidity, reverence and compassion as Dr. Heschel discusses not man’s search for God but God’s for man - the notion of a Chosen People, an idea which, he writes, "signifies not a quality inherent in the people but a relationship between the people and God." It is an extraordinary description of the nature of Biblical thought and how that thought becomes faith.
