Synopsis

Excerpt from Faith and Reason: An Introduction to Modern Jewish Thought

However, it wants to do more than tell the story of their lives. Their ideas and experiences may help us discover what faith itself means. Men who have spoken in and to our own age can probably give us a deeper insight into the nature and meaning of faith than men of earlier centuries; and after we have listened to the language of faith in our time we may be in a better position to understand the classical documents of faith as well. A Modern man finds it difficult, to understand what faith is; he finds it even more difficult to have faith. Faith requires the ability to listen. It is for this reason that the watch - word of Judaism opens with the word shema Hear. Modern man, however, rarely pauses to listen. He is rarely alone. He is busy surrounded by crowds, engulfed by noise, submerged_ in his work or strenuously absorbed in leisure-time activities. He lacks the peace in which alone the still small voice of faith can speak.
