Maḳalah fī teḥiyat ha-metim

Sinopse

Among Maimonides' classic works, his Treatise on Resurrection is an extended discussion of the mysteries of the Messianic Age, resurrection, the immortality of the soul, and the World to Come. Controversial in its day for its departure from accepted Jewish theology, Maimonides defends his view with skill and confidence. Fred Rosner's notes provide the background necessary to fully understand Maimonides' position, and his translation is an articulate rendering of this influential text, which validates resurrection as one of the cardinal principles of Judaism.
