Description:
Maimonides, Moses
Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library
In one of the greatest works of Jewish thought, Rabbi Mai-
monides explores the relationship between philosophical
knowledge and the teachings of the Torah. He discusses the
concept of God and explains how God should be described
according to the Torah. Maimonides also spends a significant
amount of time exploring the structure and characteristics of
the universe. Here, it is important to note that Maimonides
wrote in a time before the discoveries of science, so his Aris-
totelian worldview is framed by his philosophical and theolo-
gical commitments. Maimonides also considers several
mystic passages in the Torah in an attempt to challenge tra-
ditional Jewish accounts of these passages. His teachings
are relevant to both Jewish and Christian communities and
have influenced many writers since his time. In addition, this
translation offers helpful background information regarding
the life of Maimonides and his original Arabic text.
