| Summary: | The publication of Gershom Scholem's Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism in 1941 and the discoveries of the Dead Sea Scrolls between 1947 and 1965 have, between them, enormously facilitated the recognition that the matrix of Christianity is to be found in Judaism, especially in those mystical traditions which most probably originated in the Second Temple period. The subject is thus at a relatively early stage of its development, and the divergence of views among scholars, on dating and sources for instance, is giving rise to a literature of immense interest. Mystery of God is a major contribution to this literature. |
