This book takes a new look at the relationship between such currents. It advances a discussion that started with the search for religious essences, archetypes, and universals, from William James to Eranos. The universal categories that resulted from that search were later criticized as essentialist constructions, and questioned by deconstructionists. An alternative explanation was advanced by diffusionists: that there were transfers between different traditions. This book presents empirical case studies of such constructions, and of transfers between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in the premodern period, and Judaism, Christianity, and Western esotericism in the modern period. It shows that there were indeed transfers that can be clearly documented, and that there were also indeed constructions, often very imaginative. It also shows that there were many cases that were neither transfers nor constructions, but a mixture of the two. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in New Religions and Alternative Spiritualities 606 $aReligions 606 $aTheology 606 $aIslam$xDoctrines 606 $aJudaism$xDoctrines 606 $aComparative Religion 606 $aChristian Theology 606 $aIslamic Theology 606 $aJewish Theology 615 0$aReligions. 615 0$aTheology. 615 0$aIslam$xDoctrines. 615 0$aJudaism$xDoctrines. 615 14$aComparative Religion. 615 24$aChristian Theology. 615 24$aIslamic Theology. 615 24$aJewish Theology. 676 $a277.3083 676 $a200 702 $aSedgwick$b Mark 702 $aPiraino$b Francesco 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484968403321 996 $aEsoteric transfers and constructions$91896392 997 $aUNINA
