The Limits of Orthodox Theology
Maimonides' Thirteen Principles Reappraised
Author Information - Listing - Contents
This
book takes issue with the widespread assumption that Maimonides' famous
Thirteen Principles are the last word in Orthodox Jewish theology. The
author shows that numerous traditional theologians in the last 900 years
have in fact taken issue with Maimonides' principles, both in their details
as well as with regard to certain fundamental points in Maimonides¹
formulation.
Marc B. Shapiro holds the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Chair in Judaic Studies at the University of Scranton, Pennsylvania. A graduate of Brandeis and Harvard universities, he is the author of Between the Yeshiva World and Modern Orthodoxy: The Life and Works of Rabbi Jehiel Jacob Weinberg, 1884-1966 (1999), also published by the Littman Library, and is editing the collected writings of Rabbi Jehiel Jacob Weinberg, the first volume of which appeared in 1998, with the second is expected in 2003.
