He covers such fundamental issues as the powers of the Rabbis to add to the original laws of the Torah, why dissensions from the accepted rulings of Jewish law were permanently recorded in the Talmud, and the criteria for the determination of a true prophet. It also features annotations, charts, indexes, a glossary, and the complete original Hebrew text of Maimonides Introduction.
