ANATOMY OF FAITH

by Arthur- Ed. Cohen ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 23, 1960

While New York was shaken by depression, World War II and aftermath, the populace was helped by the insight, interpretation and conviction of several outstanding Rabbis, not the least of whom as Milton Steinberg. His influence extended far beyond the Park Avenue Synagogue he served, and he was heard in many other circles than the Conservative and Reconstructionist groups of Judaism he embodied. Arthur A. Cohen has done the religious world a great service in presenting these essays of Rabbi Steinberg and by giving them to us with a biography written with tenderness. The book will appeal to rabbis and ministers of every sort, whether for reinforcing convictions already held or for scrutinizing beliefs not necessarily in agreement. That Rabbi Steinberg was a devout Jew only gives added force to his widely ranging mind, and this is never so evident as when he discusses Niebuhr, Kierkegaard, Heidegger or Sartre. Well-informed laymen will also appreciate this book, as will teachers of philosophy and men for whom technology is a continuing study.
