His son Abraham Maimonides is a fascinating maverick whose Torah commentary mediates between the philosophical interpretations of his father, the contextual approach of Biblical exegetes such as Saadya, and the Sufi-flavored illuminative mysticism of his Egyptian Pietist circle.

Lobel presents a valuable portrait of the interplay between Maimonides’s philosophy and his inner religious life and spiritual practices. …Lobel’s book provides an excellent comparison between the thought of Moses and Abraham Maimonides. Her contributions to the scholarship, though subtle and nuanced, are certainly important. It is definitely a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Moses or Abraham Maimonides. …She identifies nuanced differences and puts to rest facile oversimplifications. It is the start of the study, though, not the end. There remain important questions that, as Pines wrote, ‘“need further investigation.’””\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e— David Fried, \u003ci\u003eThe Lehrhaus\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Reading Lobel’s book, one gets a vivid impression of scholarship as a joint venture and a communal affair.
