Studying The Guide for the Perplexed in This Generation
Question
Is there any point in studying The Guide for the Perplexed in this generation if what I’m looking for is theological answers?
Answer
It depends on what you’re looking for. If you get benefit from it, study it.
Absolutely. It helped me very, very much. There’s a new and excellent edition by Rabbi Dr. Makbili, published by the Mishneh Torah Institute. They also address the gap between his time and ours. Go onto their website.
