One of Maimonides’ great theological innovations, for example, was his Thirteen Principles of Faith, a list of Judaism’s central beliefs. As Judaism is a religion founded on law and not on belief per se, no such creed had been attempted before. But the notion of principles, or pillars, of faith had existed for some time in Islam, and Kraemer contends that several of Maimonides’s specific articles of faith — including the first (God’s existence), second (divine unity) and particularly the third (God is not a corporeal being) — reflect the influence of such Islamic thinkers as al-Farabi, Ibn Sina and Ibn Tumart, founder of the Almohad movement.

Articles of faith aren’t science.
