Yeah, I read about Ha-Kuzari in one of the overview books I read recently. There were quite a few attempts (naturally!) to use reason to demonstrate truths of faith, by the Christians, Muslims, and Jews, but what's sort of unique about the text I'm working through is that the author isn't just coming up with arguments for the truth of certain propositions, but is trying to show that the Catholic faith can be thought of as a 'science' in terms of the Aristotelian definition of 'science'. It's a remarkable task to attempt in 25 pages!
