Publisher's Synopsis
Dr. Pick has uncovered several findings in this scholary work which details the influence on most major religions around the world today from the little known system of the Cabala. Whether you are a follower of ISLAM, JUDAISM, or CHRISTIAN, this book will make you think twice about the origins of your own religious beliefs. (c)2012 Auriel Media www.aurielmedia.com Foreword. --Although the Cabala belongs to the past, it nevertheless demands our attention on account of the interest taken in it by men like Raymond Lully, the "Doctor Illuminatus" as he was styled (died 1315): John Picus di Mirandola (1463-1494); John Reuchlin (1455-1522); Cornelius Henry Agrippa von Nettesheim (14861535); John, Baptist von Helmont (1577-1644); the English scholars Robert Fludd (1574-1637) and Henry More (1614-1687). How much Theophrastus Paracelsus (1493-1541) and Jacob Boehme (1575-1624), called "Philosophus Teutonicus," were influenced by cabalistic doctrines, is difficult to state. At any rate the names mentioned before are sufficient to call attention to a theosophical system which has engaged the minds of Jewish and Christian scholars.
