| | Maimonides - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | However, Maimonides also writes that those who claimed that he altogether believed the verses of the Hebrew Bible referring to the resurrection were only allegorical were spreading falsehoods and "revolting" statements. | | | Maimonides refers to one with such beliefs as being an "utter fool" whose belief is "folly". | | | For instance, Maimonides was an adherent of "negative theology" (also known as "Apophatic theology".) In this theology, one attempts to describe God through negative attributes. |

| | Maimonides rejects this theory and endeavors to show that belief in God's omniscience is not in opposition to belief in His unity and immutability. | | | Maimonides interpreted the language of the Mishnah according to the rules of Hebrew and Aramaic grammar, and employed the "'Aruk" in his explanations of words, although he often fell into the error of regarding Greek loan-words in the Mishnah as Hebrew and explaining them accordingly (comp. | | | With the completion of the "Moreh," Maimonides was at the zenith of his glory. |

| | The Mind of Maimonides |
| | Maimonides died in 1204, and, according to tradition, was buried in Tiberius in the land of Israel. | | | Maimonides’ work itself might be seen as a response to three challenges to his understanding of Judaism: 1) the Jewish tradition itself, 2) Greek natural science, metaphysics, and ethics/politics ("philosophy" in the broad Platonic—Aristotelian sense) as transmitted through Arabic sources, and 3) Christianity and Islam. | | | He argues that despite the errors of Jesus and Muhammad, the religions that emerged from their respective teachings are instruments of divine providence for bringing all of humankind to the worship of the one true God. |

| | Maimonides nevertheless opposed the Kalam, and, anticipating the question, why preference should be given to the system of Aristotle, which included the theory of the Eternity of the Universe, a theory contrary to the fundamental teaching of the Scriptures, he exposed the weakness of the Kalam and its fallacies. | | | Maimonides, faithful to the teaching of the Scriptures, here departs from his master, and holds that the spheres and the intellects had a beginning, and were brought into existence by the will of the Creator. | | | Maimonides was a zealous disciple of Aristotle, although the theory of the Kalam might seem to have been more congenial to Jewish thought and belief. |

| | Medieval Sourcebook: Maimonides: The 13 Principles and the Resurrection of the Dead |
| | The thirteenth and final principle of Maimonides' Fundamental Articles of Jewish faith is the belief in the resurrection of the dead. | | | In order to dispel all doubts concerning his stand on this important question, Maimonides wrote, some twenty-five years later, his Treatise on the Resurrection of the Dead, in which he reiterates unequivocally that belief in Techiyat Hameitim is an integral and indispensable principle of Torah faith. | | | Maimonides, in his commentary on the Mishnah, compiles what he refers to as the Shloshah-Asar Ikkarim, the Thirteen Articles of Faith, compiled from Judaism's 613 commandments found in the Torah. |

| | Maimonides also formulated a credo of Judaism expressed in thirteen articles of faith, a popular reworking of which (the Yigdal prayer) appears in most Jewish prayerbooks. | | | Maimonides scholar Shlomo Pines delivered perhaps the most accurate assessment at the conference: “Maimonides is the most influential Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages, and quite possibly of all time” (Time magazine, December 23, 1985). | | | In 1985, on the 850th anniversary of Maimonides's birth, Pakistan and Cuba — which do not recognize Israel — were among the cosponsors of a UNESCO conference in Paris on Maimonides. |

| | Maimonides provides several source documents for the study of the Torah, which is, according to Judaism, the original revelation of God to the human race. | | | For Maimonides, and most of his contemporaries in the Islamicate and medieval worlds, philosophy and the sciences got their warrant, ultimately, from religion, which was the court of last appeal. | | | Maimonides doesn't mention the judicial content of Abraham's speculations but instead suggests that the particularistic flavor of the scriptural account has nothing to do with legislation but rather is a record of personal spiritual guidance. |
