Martin Buber

Martin Buber is one of the outstanding figures of the spiritual tradition of the West and the most significant representative of modern Jewish mysticism. Kenneth Paul Kramer is one of the foremost experts on his writings and distills from the wealth of Buber's work all the essential passages that reveal his grounding in the mystical tradition. In doing so, Kramer convincingly documents that Martin Buber was influenced by mysticism far more than previously assumed. However, this inspiring book is not primarily an academic analysis of Buber's works, but rather a confession to the mystical path in itself. It wonderfully reveals the beauty of the spiritual journey in Judaism, which is, at its core, a path of the heart.
