Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present and attempt to reconcile the seemingly divergent opinion of Maimonides in the matter of his relation to the new monotheistic religions – Islam and especially Christianity. In the first place the author will present and analyze Maimonides’ statements on Christianity, derived both from his halachic, as well as philosophical texts, ordered in such a way as to show the spread of opinion, and even the seeming contradiction. One of the criteria for ordering here is Maimonides’ attitude to Islam. In the second part of the work the author will attempt to synthesize Maimonides’ conceptions basing on his other texts.
