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.
