''God in Search of Man: A Philosophy of Judaism'' is a work on Jewish philosophy by Rabbi Dr. Abraham Joshua Heschel. Heschel saw the work's title as a paradoxical formula, rooted in the rabbinic tradition, summarizing human history as seen in the Bible: God in search of man.〔Heschel, Abraham Joshua. (''Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity: Essays''. ) Macmillan. 1997. Accessed May 25, 2014.〕 In ''God in Search of Man'' Heschel articulates a belief in a personal God who sees humankind as partners in creation, forging a world filled with justice and compassion.〔Rose, Or N. ("A Life in Search of Meaning: Heschel at 100." ) ''The Jewish Daily Forward''. January 4, 2007. Accessed May 26, 2014.〕 ''God in Search of Man: A Philosophy of Judaism'' is a companion volume to Heschel's earlier work ''Man Is Not Alone: A Philosophy of Religion'' where he delineates experiential and philosophical interpretations of Jewish views of humanity and the world, while in ''God in Search of Man'' Heschel focuses particularly on Jewish revelation and orthopraxis.〔Kaplan, Edward K. "Mysticism and despair in Abraham J. Heschel's religious thought." ''The Journal of Religion'' (1977): 33-47.〕 ==Contents== In ''God in Search of Man'', Heschel discusses the nature of religious thought, how thought becomes faith, and how faith creates responses in the believer. He discusses ways that people can seek God's presence, and the "radical amazement" that we receive in return.〔Gillman Neil. (''Doing Jewish Theology: God, Torah & Israel in Modern Judaism''. ) Jewish Lights Publishing. Accessed May 25, 2014.〕〔Brooks, David.("Alone, Yet Not Alone." ) ''The New York Times''. January 27, 2014. Accessed May 26, 2014.〕 He offers a criticism of nature worship; a study of humanity's metaphysical loneliness, and his view that we can consider God to be in search of humanity. Heschel, like his teacher Martin Buber, stresses the personal relationship between God and mankind, defined by Heschel as the Godly pathos and mankind's radical amazement.〔Wettstein, Howard.
