Moses Maimonides was a Renaissance man before there was a
Renaissance: a great physician who served a sultan, a dazzling
Torah scholar, a community leader, a daring philosopher whose
greatest work----The Guide for the Perplexed----attempted to
reconcile scientific knowledge with faith in God. He was a Jew
living in a Muslim world, a rationalist living in a time of
superstition. Eight hundred years after his death, his notions
about God, faith, the afterlife, and the Messiah still stir debate;
his life as a physician still inspires; and the enigmas of his
character still fascinate. Sherwin B. Nuland----best-selling author
of How We Die----focuses his surgeon's eye and writer's pen on this
greatest of rabbis, most intriguing of Jewish philosophers, and
most honored of Jewish doctors. He gives us a portrait of
Maimonides that makes his life, his times, and his thought
accessible to the general reader as they have never been before.
