Title: Major Philosophers of Jewish Prayer in the 20th Century
Description: "This book addresses the troubling questions confronting the modern Jewish worshiper by bringing to the reader the insights of twentieth-century Jewish theologians, as well as a variety of feminist theologians.

By discussing these theologians, the author discusses a variety of obstacles to prayer: the inability to concentrate on the words and meaning of formal liturgies, the paucity of emotional involvement and lack of theological conviction among worshipers, and the anthropomorphic and, particularly, the masculine emphasis of prayer nomenclature. The result is a book of interest not just for Jewish worshipers but for anyone interested in the meaning of prayer and the modern approaches to it."--BOOK JACKET.
