Document Summary
Hist 207: these are all components that try and say why judaism is better than christianity and islam. It is a comprehensive code; there is no discussion. And if you do not behave according to what he has wrote, you have sinned. Maimonides thought that he was replacing the law: more conservative: representation of the law, to be consulted and is not the law. If you were a judge you would look at this to receive information on the matter but would not be the only thing that needed to be examined. This is the one traditional figures have adopted. Book of knowledge: faith, matter of belief. It is too must of an axiom to be questioned. You cannot know the future because you have not been there, and you cannot know the past either. He is determined to say that the world will persist.
