The writings of the Jewish religious thinker, Martin Buber (1878-1965), have had a significant influence on a number of Christian theologians. Buber learned Hasidism, the religiou of his boyhood which stressed piety through loyalty to the Old Testament covenant and the hallowing of everyday life by affirming every person in his or her wholeness. This concern to develop true humanity under God through personal relations is expressed in the Hasidic teaching that "God is to be seen in everything, and reached by every pure deed."-- Dr. Bob E.
