Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and enigmatic passages of the Hebrew Bible, particularly those describing the creation and the Divine Chariot, a recurring symbol of God's majesty and power. The author, a learned scholar of his time, aims to bridge the gap between the literal interpretations of these texts and the philosophical understandings that were emerging in the 12th and 13th centuries. The author acknowledges that his contemporaries found such interpretations unsettling, often viewing them as heretical or a challenge to the established interpretations of the scriptures. He also highlights the ancient Jewish tradition of secrecy surrounding these mystical texts, suggesting that revealing their inner meanings could be dangerous. Despite this, the author argues for a more nuanced understanding of these passages. He explains the allegorical nature of the biblical descriptions and seeks to reconcile the apparent contradictions between the literal interpretations and the more abstract philosophical interpretations. The book delves into themes of free will, divine providence, the nature of evil, and the role of the Law in shaping human morality. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the relationship between religious texts, philosophical ideas, and the human search for meaning. It allows readers to see how ancient Jewish thinkers sought to reconcile their faith with the new intellectual currents of their time.
