Review
How should we describe God? What is so important about monotheism? If God created the universe, why is there evil? How will we know when the Messiah has come? These are among the questions that Maimonides contemplated in the 12th century. And they still perplex students of Judaism today. The classic questions in Maimonides: A Guide For Today's Perplexed are now addressed in modern language. The philosophy and teachings of Maimonides (the first interpreter of Judaism in Western terms) are accessible to every, not just theologians. Maimonides is ideal for young adults and older readers alike. --Midwest Book Review
