This volume is the first complete English translation of Hasdai
Crescas's Light of the Lord. Light of the Lord is widely
acknowledged as a seminal work of medieval Jewish philosophy and
second in importance only to Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed.
Crescas takes on not only Maimonides but, through him, Aristotle,
and challenges views of physics and metaphysics that had become
entrenched in medieval thought. Once the Aristotelian underpinnings
of medieval thought are dislodged, Crescas introduces alternative
physical views and reinstates the classical Jewish God as a God of
love and benefaction rather than a self-intellecting intellect. The
end for humankind then is to become attached in love to the God of
love through devoted service.
