At the heart of these topics lies the issue of whether they adopted a completely naturalistic picture of the workings of the world order, or left room for the volitional activity of God in history. These topics include divine law, creation, the Account of the Chariot, prophet and sage, Mosaic prophecy, reasons for the commandments, and prayer. Special attention is paid to three lesser known but highly significant Provençal Jewish thinkers: Moses Ibn Tibbon, Levi ben Avraham, and Nissim ben Moses of Marseille. 410 0$aEmunot. 606 $aJewish philosophy$zFrance$zProvence 606 $aJewish philosophy$yTo 1500 610 $aPhilosophy 610 $aMaimonides 610 $aMoses 610 $a1135-1204 610 $aJewish philosophy--France--Provence 610 $aJewish philosophy--to 1500 610 $aGod 610 $aJudaism 610 $aLevi 610 $aProphecy 610 $aTorah 615 0$aJewish philosophy 615 0$aJewish philosophy 676 $a296.181 700 $aKreisel$b Howard$0944478 712 02$aKnowledge Unlatched$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910258751903321 996 $aJudaism as philosophy$92132025 997 $aUNINA
