Who this is
“He was the first thinker in nine hundred years to build Judaism a philosophy — because Baghdad's marketplace of arguments made it impossible not to.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Reason and revelation are two roads to the same truth — and a tradition worth keeping is one that can prove, in open argument, why it deserves to be trusted.”
