Maimonides, while one of the greatest of commentators and teachers, was not the author of the Torah. His understanding of Torah is conditioned by the circumstances of his time and those who came before him. Now we are in a different time and our understanding is conditioned by that and all those, including him, who came before us.

Of the Torah and of the world around him. He was one of the brilliant minds of his age, but he was still a 12th century man.
