"Rabbi Strickman has written an excellent, well-written and thoughtful book recuperating Maimonides as a medieval rationalist. Strickman’s thoroughness, rabbinic expertise, and commitment to the rationalist streams within medieval Jewish philosophical tradition make this an outstanding work. We owe Rabbi Strickman a debt of thanks in the spirit of hakarat ha-tov (giving credit where credit is due) for working as a scholar, researcher, teacher, and rabbinic leader who has made in this book a positive contribution to the scholarly community, moving the state of knowledge along further and adding to our understanding of Maimonides in all of his complexity and greatness."
