Afterman argues that Philo was the first to articulate the notion of unio mystica in Judaism and in monotheism and is the source of the heno?sis mysticism in the later Neoplatonic tradition. The study provides a detailed analysis of the Jewish medieval trends that developed different forms of mystical union and mystical embodiment through the Holy Spirit. The book argues that the development of unitive mysticism in Judaism is the fruit of substantial moments of openness, not only to Greek and Arab philosophy but also to Islam and Christianity"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aSupplements to The journal of Jewish thought and philosophy ;$vvolume 26. 606 $aMysticism$xJudaism$xInfluence 606 $aCabala$xInfluence 606 $aMystical union 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMysticism$xJudaism$xInfluence. 615 0$aCabala$xInfluence. 615 0$aMystical union. 676 $a296.7/12 700 $aAfterman$b Adam$0964798 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480254403321 996 $a"And they shall be one flesh"$92188971 997 $aUNINA
