Great insights into how Rambam views the world and G-d and the relationship between them. Also excellent explanation insights into the Book of Iyov according to the Rambam. Very well researched and presented. It is important to note, as he does, that many Rishonim adamantly disagree with the Rambam's views. I would recommend the following book to see other opinions: Albo on the Book of Job, by Shira Weiss. Reply
