Kabbalistic Theology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Drob's work is a blend of Jewish Mysticism, psychology and contemporary philosophy. An introductory chapter provides a rationale for understanding the theosophical kabbalah in philosophical and psychological terms, and subsequent chapters each focus on a key Kabbalistic symbol: Ein-sof, Tzimtzum, Sefirot, Shevirah, Tikkun, etc. The overall result is a comprehensive Jewish mystical theology that provides rational/mystical answers to questions about the existence and nature of God, the creation of the world, the meaning of life, the existence of evil, and the purpose of individual human existence. Drob relates the Kabbalah to the work of Freud, Hegel, Jung, Derrida, etc. A serious and detailed treatment
