Description: The author brings to a focus his interpretation of biblical religion as an existential confrontation between God and man in which God calls man, individual and collectivee, to decision; man responds, and God judges.
Review Quotes: "[In] The Prophetic Faith . . . Buber does not get lost in the details of compositional, religious, or political history, nor does he hyperfocus on the exegesis of particular verses. Rather, his attention lies on what is most important to him, as it is to many today as well--the personally and socially transformative encounter with the eternal You."---Jon D. Levenson, Harvard Divinity School
