Produktbeschreibung
"Torah and Nondualism is a commentary on the Pentateuch, written in the form of five essays-- one on each of the five books. It reconciles modern biblical scholarship with Jewish hermeneutical techniques recorded in the Zohar (13th century C.E.). Torah and Nondualism shows that the meanings these interpretive techniques reveal are so consistent and illuminating throughout the Bible that they must have been intended by the its redactors. By combining these traditional methods with modern insights, Torah and Nondualism uncovers hidden themes in the Bible that other commentaries have overlooked.Specifically, Torah and Nondualism discovers a syncretistic subtext in the Pentateuch aimed at reconciling two religious cultures: one rooted in Egyptian esoteric tradition and the other in Canaanite mythology and practice. In later times, these two religious cultures corresponded roughly to two rival kingdoms, Judah and Israel. The Torah ingeniously harmonizes this spiritual and political rift." --
Autorenporträt
James H. Cumming received his BA from Columbia University and his JD from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, graduating magna cum laude. His religious scholarship began in 1981 with Kashmiri Shaivism. In the 1990s, his studies included the Mahabharata and the Upanishads. In the 2000s, he taught himself to read Hebrew and undertook a comprehensive study of Jewish mysticism that included the multivolume Zohar and the leading texts of Lurianic Kabbalah. After studying Hebrew scribal techniques, he closely reread the Hebrew scriptures, applying the hermeneutical methods described in the Sifra di-Tzni'uta and the Idra Rabba. He lives with his wife and two sons in Berkeley, California. Visit him at quastler.com/id24.html.
