Kabbalah: Tradition of Hidden Knowledge

Description

Kabbalah is the mystical aspect of Judaism. In biblical, metaphysical and practical terms, it formulates a personal teaching: the Attributes of the Divine, the nature of the universe and the destiny of man. At the centre of the Kabbalah is the Tree of Life, the image of Divine balance of which all existence is reflection. Kabbalists use this principle to perceive in everyday life the same dynamics whose exploration leads us to gaze back upon the Divine. This book is part of the Art and Imagination series, gloriously illustrated paperbacks which cover Eastern and Western religion and philosophy, including myth and magic, alchemy and astrology. The distinguished authors bring a wealth of knowledge, visionary thinking and accessible writing to each intriguing subject.

Z'ev ben Shimon Halevi is an author of books on the Toledano Tradition of Kabbalah, a teacher of the discipline, with a worldwide following, and a founder member of the Kabbalah Society.
