Dogma in Medieval Jewish Thought is an essay in the history of ideas which traces the development of creed formation in Judaism from its inception with Moses Maimonides (1138-1204) to the beginning of the sixteenth century when systematic attention to the problem disappeared from the agenda of Jewish intellectuals. The dogmatic systems of Maimonides, Duran, Crescas, Albo, Bibago, Abravanel, and a dozen lesser- known figures are described, analysed and compared.
'An important contribution to the history of dogma in Judaism and to the history of fifteenth-century Jewish thought in particular.'
Chava Tirosh-Rothschild, Critical Review
'A work of serious scholarship. It will no doubt become the standard work on the subject for many years to come.'
Jewish Book News & Reviews
'A detailed analysis of Maimonides's position and its aftermath ... a scholarly analysis ... Kellner steers us deftly through the complex argument. His is the most thorough treatment so far of this still relevant chapter in the history of Jewish thought.'
Jonathan Sacks, L'Eylah
