Bøger af Ernst Benz

Christian Kabbalah is the great scholar Ernst Benz's introduction to the relatively little-known but fascinating subject of Christian Kabbalah. Christian Kabbalism is the interpretation of JewishKabbalistic themes in the context of the Christian faith, or an interpretation of Christian doctrines utilizing Kabbalistic methods and concepts. Its beginnings are generally traced back to CountPico de la Mirandola, the well-known Renaissance philosopher and creator of a Christian Neoplatonism. The great surge of mysticism within the theology and theosophy of German pietismduring the early modern period led not only to a renaissance in the study of the Kabbalah within Protestant theology, but also to a positive evaluation of the religious content of the Kabbalah in its own right. This work includes illustrations of the famous Kabbalistic master tablet of Princess Antonia and discusses in detail the work of thegreat Christian theosopher Friedrich Christoph Oetinger. Christian Kabbalah is currently the only introduction available to the history and teachings of this important form of mysticism and religiouscross-pollination.

Available for the first time in paperback, Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke's eminently readable translation of Ernst Benz' classic work of scholarship stands as one of the most comprehensive biographies of Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772).
