More Christ Episode Sixty Four: Shai Held: Abraham Joshua Heschel on God, Martin Luther King Jr, Mystical and Moral Living.

Welcome to More Christ, where we seek to bring some of the world's most interesting and insightful guests to discuss life's central and abiding questions. In this sixty fourth episode in a series of discussions, I'm joined by Rabbi Shai Held.    In 2013, Indiana University Press published Held's first book, Abraham Joshua Heschel: The Call of Transcendence, a study of the major themes of the theologian's thought, particularly the movement from reflexive concern, where man thinks of his own needs and those of his family and community, to transitive concern, where he rises above the self to view the needs of the world from the broader perspective of God rather than his from his own ego.
