Maimonides wrote Jewish philosophy, law and religious commentary, bringing rabbinic tradition into sustained conversation with Aristotelian philosophy. The Guide for the Perplexed addresses readers troubled by apparent conflicts between scripture and reason, discussing prophecy, divine attributes, creation and the interpretation of biblical language.
