A publishing sensation long at the top of the best-seller lists in
Israel, the original Hebrew edition of Maimonides and the Book That
Changed Judaism has been called the most successful book ever
published in Israel on the preeminent medieval Jewish thinker Moses
Maimonides. The works of Maimonides, particularly The Guide for the
Perplexed, are reckoned among the fundamental texts that influenced
all subsequent Jewish philosophy and also proved to be highly
influential in Christian and Islamic thought. Spanning subjects
ranging from God, prophecy, miracles, revelation, and evil, to
politics, messianism, reason in religion, and the therapeutic role
of doubt, Maimonides and the Book That Changed Judaism elucidates
the complex ideas of The Guide in remarkably clear and engaging
prose. Drawing on his own experience as a central figure in the
current Israeli renaissance of Jewish culture and spirituality,
Micah Goodman brings Maimonides's masterwork into dialogue with the
intellectual and spiritual worlds of twenty-first-century readers.
Goodman contends that in Maimonides's view, the Torah's purpose is
not to bring clarity about God but rather to make us realize that
we do not understand God at all; not to resolve inscrutable
religious issues but to give us insight into the true nature and
purpose of our lives.
