Heinemann provides his own systematic insights about the intellectual, emotional, pedagogical, and pragmatic reasoning advanced by the major Jewish thinkers. This volume covers Jewish thinkers from the Bible, rabbis and Hellenistic philosophers through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, including Saadiah, Halevi, Maimonides, Albo, and many others. Heinemann addresses such questions as: "What were the Biblical, rabbinic, medieval, and modern rationales offered for the commandments in the course of Jewish thought?" 410 0$aReference library of Jewish intellectual history. 606 $aCommandments (Judaism) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCommandments (Judaism) 676 $a296.1/8 700 $aHeinemann$b Yiz?h?ak$f1876-1957.$0178332 701 $aLevin$b Leonard$f1946-$0892959 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457668903321 996 $aThe reasons for the Commandments in Jewish thought$92441020 997 $aUNINA
