Critics Review

Praise for Jacob Needleman

Praise for Jacob Needleman

“His lively prose, storytelling skills, and lucid insights draw us into an animated conversation with a brilliant teacher.”
Publishers Weekly

“Striking … takes some really original positions on topics that have become run into the ground by the same discussions and same assumptions.”
—Ken Wilber

“An immensely learned man who is unembarrassed by the big questions that many of his fellow philosophers prefer to dodge.”
Chicago Tribune

“For nearly four decades Jacob Needleman has confronted the central questions of our era in light of the vision that lies at the root of the world’s great spiritual traditions. Needleman’s work clarifies: it takes topics that exist in disparate threads throughout our culture—new religions, esoteric Christianity, the founding mythos of America—and frames them in a manner both sensible and deeply questioning.”
Parabola
