Bøker i Martin Buber Library-serien

Written over 40 years, this text seeks to: clarify the relation of certain aspects of Jewish thinking and Jewish living to contemporary intellectual movements; and to analyze those trends within Jewish life, which, surrendering to many ideologies, tend to weaken the teachings of Israel.

This volume covers Martin Buber's views on psychology and psychotherapy, exploring the work of practitioners such as Freud and Jung. Contents include: distance and relation; healing through meeting; Buber and Jung; elements of the interhuman; and guilt and guilt feelings.

Beginning with Buber's seminal essay on mysticism, this book offers texts down the centuries from oriental, pagan, Gnostic, Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, Jewish and Muslim sources. It aims to convey some quality of an experience that is essentially beyond the power of words to capture.

Previously published by Atheneum in 1981, this is a religious chronicle in fictional form, with Hasidic rabbis as its heroes. Buber unfolds the inner world of messianic longing and expectation that characterized Judaism then and continues to characterize it to the present day. In the MARTIN BUBER LIBRARY series.
