As rabbi, physician and philosopher, Moses Maimonides (1135-1204) was a Renaissance man avant la lettre; a Jew in the Muslim world and a rationalist in a time of superstition, he attempted to reconcile faith and scientific knowledge by writing his best-known work, the Guide for the Perplexed. In this introductory biography, aimed firmly at the general reader, Nuland considers what this enigmatic thinker has to tell the 21st century world about life and faith.
