"In
recent years there has been an outpouring of books on Maimonides.
This is the best one as far as his philosophy is concerned. Readers
will enjoy [Rudavsky's] presentation of the cut and thrust of
debate at the time, and the ways it has been continued right up to
today, and there is much to learn from this book. Anyone looking
for a text to use in the classroom which will engage students on
Maimonides' philosophy need look no further since here it is."
