Publisher's Synopsis
Judaic traditions are part of the Christian tradition since the Old Testament is still part of the Christian Scripture. Early Kabbalah as oral tradition from Adam through Abraham and Moses and later through the Prophets and the Teachers is claimed to be the basis of Kabbalah, Christianity can claim an inheritance to this tradition as well. The 13th century appearance of Zohar was again a commentary on the five books of Moses which precipitated modern Kabbalah. Christian scholars later took it over trying to find Jesus in the system. But by 18th century Kabbalah went wild into the practice of foretelling, fortune telling, magic of creation through the power of spoken word and healing which gave brake on to Christian Kabbalah. Since then there had been wild reaction to Kabbalah from the Christian evangelist with only a few seeing the inner identity with Christian teaching. This is a basic attempt to present Kabbalah from the perspective of Christianity. The defining of the Trinity as the first appearance of Ein Sof and explanations of the Abyss Daat and the veils has seldom been studied which gives a direct connection to the redemptive aspect of the cross and the attempt of the Son to bring home his bride Malkut through the bridge he provide with his own body. I was further taken aback when I saw that there is an almost identical Upanishadic teaching in India which confirmed my suspicion the Dravids of India are indeed the children of Heber who were further strengthened by the children of Abraham who joined them. In spite of the Vedic invasion of 1500 BC, they continued the Smriti tradition and started the Forest tradition of teacher to student similar to the Tanaim tradition of Judaism which brought forth Upanishads starting 750 BC.
