Table of ContentsReviewsDr. Israel Drazin succeeds in presenting Maimonides philosophy in a manner that the average reader can comprehend. The ideas presented are clearly stated so as to induce the reader to probe his own thinking. The author and the reader are thus engaged in a profound and meaningful conversation. The book is a valuable and original contribution to the vast literature on Maimonides. --Professor Bernard Auerbach, University of Maryland (retired) Israel Drazin s Maimonides: The Exceptional Mind is a passionate and provocative polemic against ignorance and blind faith in Judaism. Jews must think for themselves. Sadly, many Jews do not adhere to this principle of Judaism. For Drazin, Maimonides is the champion of enlightened and rational commitment to a life of Torah free from superstition and mysticism. --Dr. Raphael Jospe, Department of Jewish Philosophy, Bar Ilan University.

Author InformationDr. Israel Drazin served for thirty-one years as a chaplain in the US Army and attained the rank of brigadier general. He has a PhD in Judaic studies, masters degrees in psychology and Hebrew literature, and is an attorney and a rabbi. He developed the legal strategy that saved the military chaplaincies when its constitutionality was attacked in court and received the Legion of Merit for his service. He is acclaimed in the scholarly world for proving that the Targum Onkelos must have been composed after 400 CE, a period much later than had been widely accepted. He is the author of fifty-one books, some in the process of being published, including a series of volumes on the Aramaic translation of the Hebrew Bible, a series of books on the twelfth-century philosopher Moses Maimonides, and many books on the Hebrew Bible published by Gefen Publishing House.
