The Lonely Man of Faith, Joseph B. Soloveitchik's 1965 essay in Tradition, the journal of the Rabbinical Council of America, is a foundational modern Orthodox Jewish theological text on faith and the individual in modernity. Its strength is that it is the primary text itself, by one of modern Orthodoxy's most influential thinkers. Its limit is that it is a theologian's own constructive argument, not independent scholarship assessing its reception or influence.
