Majesty and Humility: The Thought of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik (The Rabbi Soloveitchik Library)
''Rabbi Ziegler's Majesty and Humility constitutes a meaningful contribution to our corpus of Jewish religious thought... Readers familiar with both the Rav's persona and his writing will be favorably impressed by the sensitivity manifested in the book -- both that of its author and that of his subject.... Such a study must be judged by the quality of its content, by the incisiveness of its insight, by the depth of its probes, by its innovative clarity.... I trust that my vote of confidence in this opus is fully justified, as it is indeed deserving of high regard with respect to the foregoing criteria.'' --Rabbi Dr. Aharon Lichtenstein, Rosh Ha-Yeshivah, Yeshivat Har Etzion''This volume is an ideal entree into Rabbi Soloveitchik's thought but is even more than that. By skillfully drawing connections between various writings, by clarifying many challenging ideas and passages, and by integrating the Rav's life with his thought, Rabbi Ziegler presents fresh, penetrating perspectives and insights that will enlighten even seasoned readers. The author makes demanding philosophical works exciting and accessible. All who care about Jewish thought should read this outstanding work.'' --Professor David Shatz''This volume is an ideal entree into Rabbi Soloveitchik's thought but is even more than that.
