The first of a three-volume series, this book contains Eva Jospe's previously unpublished study, "The Concept of Encounter in the Philosophy of Martin Buber," together with several of her published articles on Buber and on modern Jewish thought, as well as a moving sermon she delivered in 1988, on the 50th anniversary of Kristallnacht.
