description: The Rape of Jewish Mysticism by Christian Theologians is the extraordinary story of how, from the fourteenth century on, Christian theologians used the essence of Jewish mysticism to prove the divinity of Christ and how that effort resulted in Christian Kabbalah, in Rosicrucianism, and in all aspects of the Western occult movement as it is known today. Topics include the different kinds of Kabbalah and their roots, as well as the interaction between Jewish and Christian Mysticism, and what each contributed to the other. Dr. Wang's most recent book details the real sources, sacred and mundane, of a remarkable and little-understood chapter in the history of Western culture.
