Sumario:The article presents a description and analyses of the ways in which Maimonides appear in the work of Abraham Joshua Heschel. It aims to shed light on Heschel's understanding of his own enterprises and to provide views on his Maimonides in the context of other modern Jewish reading "The Great Eagle." It further touches on Heschel's opposition to Maimonidean dogma and his placement on Maimonides within the typological framework contrasting Rabbi Ishmael with Rabbi Akiba. In conclusion, it says that Heschel called upon these two figures, Maimonides and the Ramban, throughout his life.
