Bag om Maimonides on Teshuvah

Maimonides on Teshuvah is a new translation and commentary on The Ways of Repentance, the first comprehensive study of Teshuvah in Jewish literary history. In this work, Maimonides surveys the philosophical, psychological, and practical aspects of repentance. Carefully weaving threads drawn from the rich tapestry of Jewish religious writings, Maimonides describes the theoretical foundations of teshuvah (free will vs. predeterminism, nature vs. nurture, and conceptions of the afterlife) and provides concrete recommendations for readers who yearn for the cleansing power of teshuvah. Dr. Henry Abramson, a specialist in Jewish history and thought, provides a refreshed 21st century translation of this classic work, along with a running contemporary commentary that combines traditional medieval Rabbinic commentary with his personal reflections.
