The first chapter explores the remarkable development of the Jewish culture and learning under the generous reign of the latter Ummayid Dynasty and its declinel due to the rigid policy of Almohades, new, tyrant, and then to try to explain the reason why the greatest Jewish philosopher wrote all his main works on Jewdaism in Arabic as the basic historical fact that Arabic as well as Latin was the universal language in the medieval academic world of Europe and North Africa. The second chapter tries to find some characteristics in the biography of Maimonides by Heschel, which resemble the author's own life and philosophy; the continuity of loyalty to God and to Israel and the creative relation of prophetic vision and Aristotelian nationalism. The last chapter defines the position of Maimonides in Heschel's life and philosophy, not only as the champion of Jewish Law, but also as the unexhaustible source of religious inspiration.
