SUGGESTION: With all the Jewish texts being mentioned let's go for the master ...
Look, I managed to convince my Church of Christ father in his mid 90's that Heschel's I Asked For Wonder was mandatory reading for understanding contemporary American Judaism at it's best. So what about a collection in honor of him?
Abraham Joshua Heschel collection:
- I Asked For Wonder: A Spiritual Anthology
- Man Is Not Alone : A Philosophy of Religion
- God in Search of Man : A Philosophy of Judaism
- Heavenly Torah: As Refracted Through the Generations
- Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity: Essays
- Between God and Man
- Man's Quest For God
- Who Is Man?
- The Sabbath
- The Prophets
One I am in the process of reading, two I have read multiple times and two I've not seen. So I can vouch for the overall high quality. And if you ever run into Robert McAfee Brown ask him to tell you his Rabbi Heschel story.- I suspect Brown included it in his memoires.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

I have these three; all excellent. EDIT: The Sabbath was one of the books I wrote my master's comprehensive paper on. A classic!

These have been on my "to buy" list for some time.
Yes, I'd buy this whole collection! [Y]

Bump!
Hey, now that we've got a few more actively engaged product managers (Gabe, Ben, Rich), maybe we can have a hope of seeing some Heschel works. He doesn't fit in the categories you guys are covering, but there's no Jewish Resources forum. I hope one or all of you are monitoring the Suggestions forum, too, for ideas.
