Excerpt from The Problem of the Existence of God in Maimonides, Alanus and Averroes: A Study in the Religious Philosophy of the Twelfth Century

The harmonization of Reason and Religion, or the demonstration of the essential agreement between the truths of Faith and the truths of Knowledge, constitutes the most important part of the philosophical speculation of the Middle Ages. The solution Of this problem was the ultimate end of all rational reﬂection, for upon the de finition of the relation of Authority to Reason all the other theses depended. The questions Of the Existence Of God, His Attributes, the Creation of the World, Immortality, Free-will and Predestination can only be discussed, after it has been established that consideration Of these subjects lies within the power of the human intellect. In many cases the explanation of the problems Of Religion and Philosophy ipso facto determines the explanation of other problems subordinate to it.
