| Apr 30, 2023 at 18:52 | comment | added | Deuteronomy | The Rambam clearly affirmed it (see his letter above). In his eschatology, the messianic era and the later resurrection of the dead are not referred to as events that occur in 'Olam ha-Ba. This term is reserved in the Rambam's mesorah for the non-corporeal postmortem life of the soul. There are all kinds of interesting questions we can ask such as what the purpose of resurrection would be in the Rambam's system - but that is an entirely separate matter than whether he affirmed it or not. | |
| Apr 30, 2023 at 18:51 | comment | added | Deuteronomy | @MauriceMizrahi you claim "he made it clear he believed in a spiritual, not a bodily, resurrection" yet your citations do not make this clear at all. You have not laid out your argument, you simply state your naked conclusion as fact. The Rabad (an anti-Maimonidean) saying that in his eyes the Rambam's articulation here sounds similar to him (בעיני קרובים) to those who deny non-corporeal resurrection does not prove that in fact any such denial existed. It does not show what you claim it does. In fact it shows that he thought the Rambam's wording came close but didn't actually affirm any denial | |
