The article is centered on (i) the messianic view displayed in the Epistle to Yemen; and on (ii) the ‘logic of suffering’ adopted by Maimonides in the Iggeret, as opposed to the ‘logic of action’ of the Mishneh Torah (as emphasized in David Hartman’s commentary). Maimonides is the empathic advisor for the broken Yemenite community, to the point of identifying with its suffering. Small wonder, thus, that in the Epistle, Maimonides’ messianism take an earthly face: its task is to respond here and now to the hardships of exile, oppression, and persecution. Particularly, I focus on Maimonides’ philosophy of history (following Joel L. Kraemer’s interpretation), useful to understand the role of Christianity and Islam in the Days of Messiah.

Abstract
The article is centered on (i) the messianic view displayed in the Epistle to Yemen; and on (ii) the ‘logic of suffering’ adopted by Maimonides in the Iggeret, as opposed to the ‘logic of action’ of the Mishneh Torah (as emphasized in David Hartman’s commentary). Maimonides is the empathic advisor for the broken Yemenite community, to the point of identifying with its suffering. Small wonder, thus, that in the Epistle, Maimonides’ messianism take an earthly face: its task is to respond here and now to the hardships of exile, oppression, and persecution. Particularly, I focus on Maimonides’ philosophy of history (following Joel L. Kraemer’s interpretation), useful to understand the role of Christianity and Islam in the Days of Messiah.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
