GREAT Quote. One of my favorites. It was Abraham Joshua Heschel who said that. I believe you were off by one footnote in the “Our Father Abraham” book by Marvin R. Wilson. Also a GREAT Book!
The actual quote comes from Heschel’s book “God in search of Man” p 34. The full quote is
” The Greeks learned in order to comprehend. The Hebrews learned in order to revere. The modern man learns in order to use.” pg. 34.
I have several of Heschel books. Not only do the Rabbis study him but Christian Scholars as well.
