Description

The study of Kabbalah—Jewish mysticism—will play an outsized role in shaping not only Western thought but even modern science. To explore the topic, we'll turn to the following questions:

  1. What is Kabbalah and why did it become important, as an area of study, for Christian thinkers and scholars?
  2. How does Kabbalah further develop the notion of human agency?
  3. What role did Kabbalah play in the development of modern science?
