Synopsis

Jewish theologian Martin Buber (1878-1965) strives to depict the historical Moses in this book. An effort is made in this book not only to describe Moses as an individual but to present the historical work of Moses as well. Buber invites the reader to learn from the Biblical narrative who Moses was and what kind of life he led. In the process, the reader will learn the meaning of Sinai for today.

About this title

About the Author:

Martin Buber (1878 1965), is among the foremost twentieth-century philosophers of human relations and Jewish thought. He is best known for his revival of popular interest in Hasidism and his philosophy of dialogue, a form of existentialism centered on the distinction between the I-Thou and I-It relationships. His work on Hasidic thought, Zionism and religious philosophy continues to influence both the academic study of Judaism and religious thinking more broadly. He also inspired the trend toward neo-Hasidism among modern Jews. His books include I and Thou, Tales of the Hasidim, On Judaism and many others.
