A major debate of medieval Jewish theology pits the creation of the world out of nothing (creatio ex nihilo) against the Aristotelian thesis of the world's eternity. Saadia Gaon, Maimonides, and Gersonides, among others, took positions on the implications of each doctrine for providence, miracle, and divine freedom. This debate illustrates the confrontation between revelation and Greek philosophy.
