His work has had a profound influence on both his contemporaries and later thinkers, Jewish and Christian. Isaac Abarbanel's Stance Toward Tradition is the first full-length study of Abarbanel in half a century. The book considers a wide range of Abarbanel's writings, focusing for the first time on the dominant exegetical side of his intellectual achievements as reflected in biblical commentaries and messianic writings. Author Eric Lawee approaches Abarbanel's work from the perspective of his negotiations with texts and teachings bequeathed to him from the Jewish past. The work provides insight into the important spiritual and intellectual developments in late medieval and early modern Judaism while offering a portrait of a complex scholar whose stance before tradition combined conservatism with creativity and reverence with daring. 606 $aJudaism$xDoctrines 606 $aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTradition (Judaism) 615 0$aJudaism$xDoctrines. 615 0$aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTradition (Judaism) 676 $a296/.092 700 $aLawee$b Eric$01627491 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827238803321 996 $aIsaac Abarbanel's stance toward tradition$93964112 997 $aUNINA
