The work points to a rich spectrum of conceptions of faith and trust--from the purely cognitive to the experiential and affective. What emerges are themes of faithfulness, loyalty, experiential certainty, and trustworthiness, expressed in devotion to a way of life that embodies these ideals. The virtue of trust expresses steadfast commitment to the truth.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis study vividly illustrates the \"Jewish-Arab symbiosis,\" highlighting the shared spiritual language and rich, intertwined worlds of Islamic and Jewish philosophy, theology, and mysticism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiana Lobel\u003c\/b\u003e, Associate Professor of Religion, Boston University, is author of \u003ci\u003eBetween Mysticism and Philosophy: Sufi Language of Religious Experience in Judah Halevi's Kuzari\u003c\/i\u003e (2000), \u003ci\u003eA Sufi -Jewish Dialogue: Philosophy and Mysticism in Ba ḥya Ibn Paq ūda's Duties of the Heart\u003c\/i\u003e (2007), \u003ci\u003eThe Quest for God and the Good\u003c\/i\u003e (2011), \u003ci\u003ePhilosophies of Happiness\u003c\/i\u003e (2017), and \u003ci\u003eMoses and Abraham Maimonides: Encountering the Divine\u003c\/i\u003e (2021).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Academic Studies Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50402325332242,"sku":"9798887193977","price":156.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_44d7e193-5110-4995-a746-1a9513011bbe.jpg?v=1729152596","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/faith-and-trust-an-introduction-to-judeo-arabic-thought-9798887193977","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
