Historical Truth and the 13 Principles of Faith

This work by Rabbi Dr. Joshua Berman interrogates questions of historical accuracy and interpretation in the Hebrew Bible while engaging with Maimonidean principles of faith.

Berman discusses how historical-critical methods intersect with traditional Jewish theology, addressing tensions and compatibilities.

He offers perspectives aimed at preserving religious conviction without dismissing scholarly insights, advocating nuanced readings of biblical narratives.

The book is intended for readers interested in harmonizing academic biblical studies with enduring Jewish beliefs and the Rambam's articulations of faith principles.
