Synopsis
Concerned about the lack of the spiritual and ethical dimensions in our social, economic, and political lives--what he calls' the eclipse of God'--Martin Buber aimed to point a way by which humanity could repair this lost spiritual dimension. His message was this: for the Church and for all persons of genuine faith, the world of everyday living--the 'secular'--is of central importance. The God we worship is not simply the God of religion, but the Lord of life, the Lord of the world
