Summary
Annotation Traces the principle of divine accommodation, the idea that God's word had to be attuned to the level of human understanding, in Jewish and Christian thought from the first to the nineteenth century. Benin (Judaic studies, history, Memphis State U.) focuses on major figures and the place of accommodation in their work, contrasting applications of the concept by the two religions. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
