It is intended to be used with courses in Jewish philosophy, as well as with more general courses in religious thought, Judaism and philosophy.;The author discusses the nature of God, the origin and end of the universe, and the more moral value of humanity, all from the distinctive perspective of Jewish intellectual history. The Hebrew Scriptures, the Midrash, and medieval works of Jewish theology are all alluded to. Among the Jewish philosophers discussed are Judah Ha-Nasi, Saadia Gaon, Ha-Levi, Abraham ibn Daud, Moses Maimonides, Levi Gersonides, Hasdai Crescas, Baruch Spinoza, Hermann Cohen, Martin Buber and Franz Rosenzweig.
