Maimonides and Jesus of Nazareth

Maimonides and Jesus of Nazareth

In the turbulent times of the first crusades to reclaim Palestine and Jerusalem from the Muslims, a Jew was born (1135 AD) in Cordoba, the capital of Muslim Andalusia, a Jew whose influence would leave a strong mark not only on Jewish thought but also on Christian and Islamic thought. His name was Moses Maimonides, or Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon.
