New Series

I have started work on new series, which is a sub series of the Faith articles that I have done previously. For a long time I have been wanting to learn in depth Marc Shapiro’s brilliant work. "The Limits of Orthodox Theology: Maimonides Thirteen Principles Reappraised". However I encountered a couple of problems. First of all there is a tremendous amount of sources that he cites. The mixture of narrative and the immense amount of sources were difficult for me to process, as it was a constant effort to determine when there was a direct quotation or an interpretation of the evidence. Therefore I am beginning the process of bli neder making summary notes of his book. This will include a listing of primary sources, selected quotes, comments, interpretations. It will also include later on a summary of the arguments and logic behind the presentation. I hope you enjoy this work. It is not meant as a substitute for the book, and I definitely recommend all to buy it, but I hope it will serve as a work of reference. When I am finished I hope to make it into a pdf document. Look forward to comments
