At the heart of these topics lies the issue of whether they adopted a completely naturalistic picture of the workings of the world order, or left room for the volitional activity of God in history. These topics include divine law, creation, the Account of the Chariot, prophet and sage, Mosaic prophecy, reasons for the commandments, and prayer. Special attention is paid to three lesser known but highly significant Provençal Jewish thinkers: Moses Ibn Tibbon, Levi ben Avraham, and Nissim ben Moses of Marseille UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/30675/1/644206.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/30675/1/644206.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/30675/1/644206.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/34270 ER -
