Book Sales, 1997

Call to the personal infinite
The book Essential Kabbalah, compiled by Daniel Matt, is a wonderful basic introduction to a very mysterious and often overlooked mystical practice. So often in popular (and even educated) opinion, Judaism of old was considered legalistic and pedantic; however, the Kabbalistic practices introduced here helped to keep alive a true tradition of spirituality through Judaism (more heavily influencing ...

Theology of the Heart: The Role of Mysticism in the Theology of Martin Luther
Bengt R. Hoffman

Kirk House Publishers, 2003

Bengt Hoffman elevates Christian spirituality and spiritual formation as proper subjects for serious theological study. This book reveals Luther's mystical experience of God in a prayerful life to be essential in the development of his theology. It shows how the spiritual life is essential to Luther's understanding of the gospel. Balanced by his emphasis on the "external Word" Luther's experience of the divine was a critical influence on his ...

Touched by Fire!!
In the book of Jeremiah the prophet said that his experience of God was just like Fire Shut up in his bones. Author Daniel Matt, nails some interesting Jewish content that reveals how the Kabbalists were touched by Fire and moved by exuberance. Their love for deep spiritual experience is unlike anything I've ever seen or read about before. "The Essential Kabbalah" is wonderfully written with ...

Mysticism and Kingship in China: The Heart of Chinese Wisdom (Cambridge Studies in Religious Traditions)
Julia Ching

Cambridge University Press, 1997

In this book, Julia Ching offers a survey of over 4,000 years of Chinese civilization through an examination of the relationship between kingship and mysticism. She investigates the sage-king myth and ideal, arguing that institutions of kingship were bound up with cultivation of trance states and communication with spirits. Over time, the sage-king myth became a model for the actual ruler. As a paradigm, it was also appropriated by private ...

Kabbalah: An Illustrated Introduction to the Esoteric Heart of Jewish Mysticism

Gramercy, 2005

Fasacinating!
The first good all-area general overview of the Kabbalah I've found. The book covers material from historical and religious background, through the actual substance of the Kabbalah itself, and on to applications and real modern interest. It is the stuff on the Tree of Life -- and the exercises in the last chapter -- that are the real dynamite though. It's obviously influenced by the western ...

A Sufi-Jewish Dialogue: Philosophy and Mysticism in Bahya ibn Paquda's Duties of the Heart (Jewish Culture ...
Diana Lobel

University of Pennsylvania Press, 2006

Written in Judeo-Arabic in eleventh-century Muslim Spain but quickly translated into Hebrew, Bahya Ibn Paquda's Duties of the Heart is a profound guidebook of Jewish spirituality that has enjoyed tremendous popularity and influence to the present day. Readers who know the book primarily in its Hebrew version have likely lost sight of the work's original Arabic context and its immersion in Islamic mystical literature. In A Sufi-Jewish Dialogue ...
