Abstract

Certain method of demonstrating theological and exegetical claims is one of the heritages of Mutazilite Muslim theologians. One of the main characteristics of this method is that there is a considerable attention to reason as the permission to use rhetorician figures like metaphor and allegoric exegesis in describing theological doctrines as well as in interpreting of the Quran. Assuming that using this method was not confined to Muslim Mutazilite theologians and, before and after them, some of the Jewish Christian theologians have used this method, the paper focusing on the DIVINE ATTRIBUTES and relying on some instances of the interpretations of the Bible, will try to show that SAADIA GAON, a Jewish theologian (d. 942), had a method similar to that of Muslim Mutazilte theologians and, therefore, it might be called him "Mutazilite Jew". Using a method like Mutazilite theologians, he interpreted intricate concepts in the Old Testament by concentrating on rhetorical aspects of the text, and defended Jewish theology against the objections from his theological opponents, that is Christians.
