He studies its repercussions in Jewish thought in this companion book--an indispensable work for all students of Jewish and Islamic traditions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWolfson believed that ideas are contagious, but that for beliefs to catch on from one tradition to another the recipients must be predisposed, susceptible. Thus he is concerned here not so much with the influence of Islamic ideas as with Jewish elaboration, adaptation, qualification, and criticism of them. To this end he examines passages reflecting Kalam views by a wide variety of Jewish thinkers, including Isaac Israeli, Judah Halevi, Abraham ibn Ezra, and Maimonides. As always in Wolfson's work, two aspects are apparent: the special dimensions of Jewish thought as well as its relation to other traditions. And as always his prose is both graceful and precise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harry Austryn Wolfson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674761758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674761759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/1979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.68h x 6.29w x 0.97d","brand":"Harry Austryn Wolfson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44790051111167,"sku":"9780674761759","price":116.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff9c8eff-7dbf-48e2-bf0c-81bd5cb8e1ea.jpg?v=1707287815","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/repercussions-of-the-kalam-in-harry-austryn-wolfson-9780674761759","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
