In The Unfinished Dialogue: Martin Buber and the Christian Way, author John M. Oesterreicher analyzes Buber's philosophies and writings in this concise book. Oesterreicher's analyses are the perfect companion to understanding Buber in his own words. Martin Buber was an influential Jewish philosopher, essayist, translator, and editor most known for his German translation of the Bible, his religious existentialism philosophy, and his role in the Zionist movement. Scholars and philosophers continue to consult his unparalleled approach to religious studies, and his writings have made a lasting impact on the approach to philosophical thought. New and returning readers of Buber will find clarity and wisdom in his words, along with clarity provided by Oesterreicher's analysis. John M. Oesterreicher wrote and contributed to many texts on the study of religion, including The Unfinished Dialogue, Standing Before God, Jerusalem, and The New Encounter Between Christians and Jews. He also served as the director of the Institute of Judaeo-Christian Studies at Seton Hall University.
