A Passion for Truth presents a surprising parallel study of two figures, the Hasidic tzaddik (righteous man, spiritual leader) Reb Menahem Mendl of Kotzk, and the Christian mystic, father of Existentialism, Danish theologian Søren Kierkegaard. All that Rabbi Heschel presents in this aphoristic, quotable book is cast in terms that touch all our lives.
