Heschel (1907-1972), an exile from Nazi Germany, contributed to Judaism's spiritual renewal and was involved in the civil rights and antiwar movements and dialogues with Vatican II. Susannah Heschel (Jewish studies, Dartmouth College) introduces the life and selected published and unpublished writings of her father on topics including what makes humans receptive to God (e.g., Man is Not Alone, 1950), and the political as spiritual (e.g., in an introduction to Martin Luther King in 1967).
