IN HEBREW. THREE VOLUME SET of Heschel`s magnum opus - `Torah min HaShamayim BeAspaklariya shel HaDorot` (Torah from Heaven in the mirror of the generations) - a study of classical rabbinic theology and aggadah, as opposed to halakha, where the author explores the views of the rabbis in the Mishnah, Talmud and Midrash about the nature of Torah, the revelation of God to mankind, prophecy, and the ways that Jews have used scriptural exegesis to expand and understand these core Jewish texts. In this work, Heschel views the 2nd century sages Rabbi Akiva and Ishmael ben Elisha as paradigms for the two dominant world-views in Jewish theology. The third and final volume was published posthumously. [ALL VOLUMES]: 230x165mm. [VI+440] + [LX+297] + [168] pages. Beige cloth Hardcover with gilt lettering on spine.
