| Abstract: | The centrality of miracles in Nahmanides' theology cannot escape the attention of even the most casual observer. and his doctrine of the hidden miracle exercised a particularly profound and abiding influence on subsequent Jewish thought. Nevertheless, his repeated emphasis on the miraculous-and particularly the unrestrained rhetoric of a few key passages-has served to obscure and distort his true position, which was far more moderate, nuanced and complex than both medieval and modern scholars have been led to believe. |
