For centuries, readers have turned to The Wars of the Lord for one of the most daring and systematic explorations of the great questions of existence ever written by a Jewish thinker. In this modern English edition, Gersonides' masterpiece is made newly accessible: his arguments on the soul's immortality, the nature of prophecy and dreams, how God knows and governs the world, the order of the heavens, and the mystery of creation are rendered in clear, present-day prose that preserves the rigor and spirit of the original. Whether you come as a student of philosophy, a seeker of wisdom, or a lover of great books, you will find here a voice that is at once ancient and startlingly contemporary. This edition includes an introduction, a glossary, and notes to guide your reading. Part of The Sacred Wisdom Library.
