Description: "Rabbi, writer, teacher, activist, and organizer, Marc H. Tanenbaum was for more than three generations at the center of the struggle for religious understanding and human rights. From the first stirrings of ecumenical dialogue in the Second Vatican Council through an extraordinary life fighting for religious liberty and tolerance and against bigotry, Tanenbaum left an indelible mark on many communities of faith.". "This anthology of Tanenbaum's most influential writings underscores his major contributions in the areas of civil and human rights, international affairs, and, above all, the development of Jewish-Christian understanding and mutual respect. The thirty-four selections, organized chronologically, track close to thirty years of vigorous, wise, and passionate advocacy."--BOOK JACKET.
