The Greek Qabalah: Alphabetic Mysticism and Numerology in the Ancient World ReviewKieren Barry has done the entire religious world a great service with this volume. In it he presents in a very readable form the definitive history of Qabalah, with a particular emphasis on origins.
While religious readers may take offense at his secular scholarly approach and certain conclusions he reaches based on that approach, they should not use that as a reason to set the book aside. When those conclusions, derived from pre-conceived notions of what can and cannot be with regard to true divinity, are ignored, we have a masterfully told drama of the origin of man's attempt to understand God by means of scientific exploration.
The science in question is mathematics, and the results are predictable. God is created in man's image, and is discovered by man's knowledge, not be revelation. This is a fascinating story, and should not be overlooked, because it tells us more about ourselves than about God.
At the same time, the serious student of the Qabalistic mysteries should not overlook this book, whether for understanding of the number of the Beast of Revelation 13:17-18, or for his own interest. Barry has conclusively shown all of the key elements of the techniques, and their origins, beginning with the Egyptians, Pythagoras, and eventually to Plato and the Gnostics. The Jews are not ignored, but are shown to be latecomers, with the first real activity in the 13th century AD.
Definitely a work not to be ignored.The Greek Qabalah: Alphabetic Mysticism and Numerology in the Ancient World Overview
