Overview

This work demonstrates how the Elizabethan government offered a favorable context for the development of Christian Cabbalah in England. Unlike existing texts, this book stresses the importance of the Christian Cabbalah as a distinctive intellectual movement, instead of uniting it with other philosophical trends like Neo-platonism, Jewish Cabbalah, or Rosecrucian theory.
