While covering many aspects of his religious philosophy, these essays focus on the way Maimonides elucidated and expressed the universalistic thrust of the Jewish tradition. Maimonides construed the election of Israel as a challenge, not an endowment. This challenge is ultimately addressed to all human beings, not just to Jews. 410 0$aEmunot. 606 $aPHILOSOPHY / Religious$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aPHILOSOPHY / Religious. 676 $a296.1/81 700 $aKellner$b Menachem Marc$f1946-$0867416 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457937203321 996 $aScience in the bet midrash$92444142 997 $aUNINA
