Given the extraordinary richness and range of contemporary theology, questions about the authority and inspiration of the Bible tend to garner ever increasing variety, complexity and controversy. Among those challenges include the questions posed by biblical criticism to the enterprise of Christian theology, and the place of scripture in the life of the contemporary church. Employing a range of conversation partners, this book will provide an up-to-date survey of the diverse ways in which contemporary theologians use the Bible 'to think with'. The volume enables students to compare different approaches to the reading of scripture. It also explores the ways in which the theological interpretation of scripture can be both a critical and a spiritual exercise.

In the 12th century, Moses Maimonides wrote a long letter to one of his rabbinical students discussing a variety of philosophical matters concerning theology. The text tries to clarify some of the contradictions between the literal meaning of the Torah and its philosophical explications. This work is still of interest to contemporary philosophers and theologians.

This book offers an upper-level introduction to the Christian doctrine of the Church. This book is a rigorous comprehensive introduction to the doctrine of the Church by taking the tack of walking readers through the internal logic of ecclesiology. Rather than simply offering a compendium of perspectives on each issue that arises, the authors seek to teach and model thinking theologically, with the grain of scripture and ecclesial reflection, about the Church. The chapters are peppered with two to three excurses per chapter which consider a particularly pertinent issue that arises from the doctrine's development (e.g. the move from Jesus to the Church, schism and the rise of denominations, sacramental mediation) or contemporary concerns (e.g. the question of other religions, contemporary ecumenical questions, the emerging church). While the overall tone and content of the book articulate and invite discussion on the problematics of ecclesiology, these excurses will provide ample opportunity to examine and (where appropriate) untangle ecclesiological knots. The Guides for the Perplexed are clear, concise and accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that students and readers can find especially challenging - or indeed downright bewildering. Concentrating specifically on what it is that makes the subject difficult to grasp, these books explain and explore key themes and ideas, guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of demanding material.

Maimonides is surprisingly modern in his outlook. Apart from great and long-recognized influence on Christian theology deserves to be regarded as the greatest Jewish interpreter of the Scripture. Christians get stuck and stagnant in one one box of Scripture interpretation. But it is the Jews who gave us the Bible and who better than Jewish commentators can interpret their Scriptures for us? To Maimonides Judaism owes as much, actually more, than Western Christianity owes to St. Thomas Acquinas. His great Summa, which he called The Guide for the Perplexed, was written with the express intention of reconciling the truths of revealed religion with the findings of philosophy. In the middle of this book he devotes some 17 chapters to the study of prophecy, preparing the way by a discussion of the meaning of the words "The Lord spoke unto X". Thus he says that when we read that God spoke to the prophets we are to understand only that prophets attained a knowledge of divine will, and that what they said comes to us from God, and is not the product of their own minds. It is is of no moment whether the Divine thought or will becomes known to man by a voice which he hears or by other means of inspiration; for speech, thought, and will, predicated of God, are simply accommodations to the modes human thought. As you can see, here is a Jew, a very fine one and very brilliant one at that, is presenting us with an intelligent and reverent explanation of revelation; it is the Divine will, you see, acting through human personality, informing but not suppressing it.

IT is the object of this work "to afford a guide for the perplexed," i.e. "to thinkers whose studies have brought them into collision with religion" (p. 9), "who have studied philosophy and have acquired sound knowledge, and who, while firm in religions matters, are perplexed and bewildered on account of the ambiguous and figurative expressions employed in the holy writings (p. 5). Joseph, the son of Jehudah Ibn Aknin, a disciple of Maimonides, is addressed by his teacher as an example of this kind of students. It was "for him and for those like him" that the treatise was composed, and to him this work is inscribed in the dedicatory letter with which the Introduction begins. Maimonides, having discovered that his disciple was sufficiently advanced for an exposition of the esoteric ideas in the books of the Prophets, commenced to give him such expositions "by way of hints." His disciple then begged him to give him further explanations, to treat of metaphysical themes, and to expound the system and the method of the Kalam, or Mohammedan Theology. In compliance with this request, Maimonides composed the Guide of the Perplexed.
