Series: Jewish Encounters Series

A portrait of the great 12th century medical sage by one of our leading medical men of letters.

Sherwin B. Nuland-best-selling author of How We Die-focuses his surgeon's eye and writer's pen on this greatest of rabbis, most intriguing of Jewish philosophers, and most honored of Jewish doctors.

Moses Maimonides was a Renaissance man before there was a Renaissance- a great physician, a dazzling Torah scholar, a daring philosopher. Eight hundred years after his death, his notions about God, faith, the afterlife, and the Messiah still stir debate; his life as a physician still inspires; and the enigmas of his character still fascinate.

Nuland's portrait of Maimonides that makes his life, his times, and his thought accessible to the general reader as they have never been before.

Reviews for Maimonides

Will educate and inspire not only people of faith, but all who seek to lead a life of significance and meaning. --Dr. Jerome Groopman, author of The Anatomy of Hope Nuland writes sympathetically, one Jewish doctor considering this most extraordinary of Jewish doctors . . . His book is a guide for those perplexed by Maimonides, as well as those ignorant of him. [It is] a deeply satisfying and humane introduction to the greatest of Jewish thinkers. -- The New York Times Book Review
