Read all of the primary sources and article/s on the topic “Providence and Theodicy”. Feel free to research any other relevant sources that you find. Write a 5 page essay (double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point font, standard margins) on Maimonides’s view of the topic. You must cite at least four primary sources (meaning something that Maimonides wrote, two different chapters in the Guide count as two) and two secondary source (meaning written by a recent writer).
Make at least two references back to sources and/or methodologies that we discussed in class (for example content of Letter on Astrology, methodology we used in readings on prophecy). This should be taken out of the doc that’s called “Micah Goodman”
Clearly indicate what you are quoting from others. Do not simply summarize the sources. Include methodological considerations, questions, solutions, and why you chose that solution over others. Include also how you relate to this material: how does it compare with what you have learned before, do you find Maimonides’s approach helpful or confusing, is his approach relevant for a modern Jew or do you think another approach is better and if so which one and why.
