    [synopsis] => The intellectual legacy of one of the                 twentieth century's greatest religious                 thinkers-explained by a leading theologian of our day.             
	"It is only through experiencing the                 contradictions in human existence, through being overwhelmed by                 the divine presence, through the finite human being feeling                 terror-stricken by the infinite majesty of God that one can                 develop an authentic religious personality."

-David                 Hartman (From Chapter 6)            
	Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik                 (1903–1993) profoundly influenced modern Orthodox Judaism                 in the United States-and Judaism as a whole-by                 opening up a discourse between the tradition of Torah study and                 Western philosophical thought. The future of both religious                 Zionism in Israel and of Orthodoxy in America hangs to a great                 extent on how we interpret his intellectual legacy. Dr. David                 Hartman's penetrating analysis of Rabbi                 Soloveitchik's work reveals a Judaism committed to                 intellectual courage, integrity, and openness.             
	A renowned theologian and philosopher,                 Hartman meticulously explores the subtlety and complexity of                 Rabbi Soloveitchik's theological thought, exposing a                 surprising intersection of halakhic tradition and modern                 Western theology-a confrontation that deepens and expands                 our spiritual understanding. Hartman's provocative                 interpretation bears witness to the legitimacy of remaining                 loyal to the Judaic tradition without sacrificing one's                 intellectual freedom and honesty.
