About
"In Searching for a Distant God, Kenneth Seeskin carries on an imaginary conversation with Maimonides, in which the great medieval thinker acknowledges his debt to Plato, Aristotle, and Plotinus, and takes up the objections of Aquinas, Kant, and Hegel. Seeskin uses this conversation to illuminate the complexities of monotheism, arguing that it involves controversial claims about God, creation, and the limits of human knowledge.". "Although Seeskin writes from a Jewish perspective, he deals with issues that are of equal importance to Christianity. His study is resource for scholars of Judaism, theology, philosophy of religion, and medieval intellectual history, as well as for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of monotheism."--BOOK JACKET.
