"Much of the writing of and about the twelfth-century jurist, philosopher, and theologian Moses Maimonides is addressed to an elite audience of philosophers and intellectuals. Here, Ralph Lerner's exploration of Maimonides' popular writings reveals that the eduction of the common man was one of the great teacher's chief concerns.". "A reference for students of political philosophy and Jewish studies, Lerner's book also brings to life the richness and relevance of medieval Jewish thought for all those interested in the Jewish tradition."--BOOK JACKET.
