Library of Congress #58-7714; — Back Description: — "The revival of theology in our times is best exemplified in the selections included in this volume. The works of Jacques Mari... more »tain Nicholas Beryaev, Martin Buber, and Paul Tillich, as Will Herberg writes in his introduction, 'are heralds of the post-modern mind...the great, if not always definable movement of thought that is striving to go beyond the confident positivism, naturalism, and scientism that are the hallmarks of modernity... Each of these men has felt in his own existence the metaphysical disquiet that is disturbing the complacency of the late-modern world, and each has experienced in his own thinking the metaphysical hunger that cannot be stilled with the dry husks of nineteenth-century platitudes. Each theologizes in this radical spirit, and therefore each has become, in his own way, a pioneer of the 'new thinking' that Franz Rosenzweig, a generation ago, saw as the emerging consciousness of the age. In this, more than in anything else, lies the enduring meaning and significance of their thought.'« less
