To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Theological Aspect of Reformed Judaism 197 ical profession of a religious truth cannot be satisfactory ; belief therein must, at the very least, be accompanied by an adequate com- prehension of its content. The highest kind of belief is conviction based on speculation (iba^NnnT ri'SMuiiK nillSN)." It is needless to say that Bahia and Maimuni are guilty of bad, that is, unhistorical, exegesis, when they attempt to force the speculative meaning upon the biblical in* in Deut. iv. 35, 39; / Chr...on. xxviii, 9, or elsewhere. The biblical n'n!?Mn;'T means obedience to the Divine will, an effort of the will, not an intellectual pursuit. See, e. g., Jerem. ix. 23 ; xii. r6. The prayer for " knowledge, intelligence and insight " (fourth benediction in the n'E'i; nsoc) is to be understood in the same sense." The aversion of the Mishna to speculation is well known," Similarly Ecclus. iii, 21 ff." "The fool who hath said in his heart. There is no God " " is the adtos in the sense " ungodly, godless " (a man who conducts himself as if there were no God to whom he is responsible) rather than in that of " atheist " (one who, upon the grounds of speculation, denies the existence of God).
