About this title

Synopsis

The Wars of the Lord is the major treatise of Levi ben Gershom of Provence (1288-1344), one of the most creative and daring minds of the medieval world. The work, an unparalleled achievement of Jewish thought, is devoted to a demonstration that the Torah, properly understood, is identical to true philosophy.
