Best Sellers. Jewish philosophical, jurisprudential, and theological influence—when it involves a strong, authentic thinker—often proceeds by a misreading of Maimonides, an act of creative correction that is actually and necessarily a misinterpretation. Maimonides's legal, philosophical, and exegetical corpus became canonical in the sense that many subsequent Jewish thinkers were compelled to struggle with it in order to advance their own thought. Much of Jewish intellectual history can be viewed as a series of engagements, disengagements, and re-engagements with him, fueled by the kind of writing Maimonides himself practiced, thereby establishing the very lines of discourse that target or conjure up his thought, regardless of the social, cultural, and intellectual transformations inevitably wrought by time. The field of theology—itself rooted in the seminarian origins of the religious studies academe—has long been dominated by Christian, or Christocentric, discourses whose terms and concepts are seen as identical with the structure of the very field. Thus, it strikes this reviewer as odd that the author simultaneously insists on the Jewish nation as a necessary component in his theological project.
