The Role of the Jew in Franciscus Mercurius van Helmont’s Adumbratio kabbalae christianae
Journal Title: Wrocławski Przegląd Teologiczny - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
While the use of the Jews as scapegoats is well documented, less noted is how they have provided a pretext for exploring and writing about heterodoxical ideas that otherwise might cause problems for the author. A case in point is the Adumbratio kabbalae christianae, by seventeenth-century esoteric thinker Franciscus Mercusius van Helmont. Although ostensibly designed to convert the Jews, a close examination reveals that the text was intended to inform like-minded Christians about an esoteric mode of thought that, at the time, was repudiated by Church authorities.
