This pioneering study explores the intersecting approaches of Moses and Abraham Maimonides to divine illumination and revelation of the name Ehyeh asher Ehyeh, "I am that I am / I will be who I will be." The two thinkers offer fascinating, complementary visions of what it means to encounter the Divine.
