About This Item
Hardback. New. <b>A finalist for the 2020 National Jewish Book Award for scholarship--a broad, systematic account of one of the most original and creative kabbalists, biblical interpreters, and Talmudic scholars the Jewish tradition has ever produced</b><br /><br /><b>âBeautifully written, Moshe Halbertalâs groundbreaking book is exceptional in its capability to penetrate to the heart of Nahmanidesâs thinking and worldview. An admirable achievement.ââAdam Afterman, Tel Aviv University</b><br /><br /><b>âMagisterial. . . . Halbertal displays here his well-established talent for making abstruse ideas accessible to a non-specialist readership.ââ<i>Los Angeles Review of Books' Marginalia</i></b><br /> Â <br /> Rabbi Moses b. Nahman (1194â1270), known in English as Nahmanides, was the greatest Talmudic scholar of the thirteenth century and one of the deepest and most original biblical interpreters. Beyond his monumental scholastic achievements, Nahmanides was a distinguished kabbalist and mystic, and in his commentary on the Torah he dispensed esoteric kabbalistic teachings that he termed âBy Way of Truth.â<br /> Â <br /> This broad, systematic account of Nahmanidesâs thought explores his conception of halakhah and his approach to the central concerns of medieval Jewish thought, including notions of God, history, revelation, and the reasons for the commandments. The relationship between Nahmanidesâs kabbalah and mysticism and the existential religious drive that nourishes them, as well as the legal and exoteric aspects of his thinking, are at the center of Moshe Halbertalâs portrayal of Nahmanides as a complex and transformative thinker.
