Tetragrammaton: Western Christians and the Hebrew Name of God
The Christian Reception of the Hebrew name of God has not previously been described in such detail and over such an extended period. This work places that varied reception within the context of early Jewish and Christian texts; Patristic Studies; Jewish-Christian relationships; Mediaeval thought; the Renaissance and Reformation; the History of Printing; and the development of Christian Hebraism. The contribution of notions of the Tetragrammaton to orthodox doctrines and debates is exposed, as is the contribution its study made to non-orthodox imaginative constructs and theologies. Gnostic, Kabbalistic, Hermetic and magical texts are given equally detailed consideration. There emerge from this sustained and detailed examination several recurring themes concerning the difficulty of naming God, his being and his providence.
Light Breaks
Robert Wilkinson, author of Raining Quinces, now brings out his second poetry collection, Light Breaks. Once more he tempers a pervading sense of bittersweet yearning with irony and humour. There's a resigned realism within these pages, but an irrepressible romance too. You'll find a medley of poetic styles - from the haiku and the limerick to the villanelle and the cut-up. A book for today, you might say: knowing, parodic, postmodern - yet serious in its search for epiphanic truth. Reviewers had this to say about Raining Quinces: 'Robert Wilkinson writes like the practised pilgrim he is in this warm and entertaining collection. Sometimes he makes us laugh, sometimes he jolts with a surprisi...
Raining Quinces
Robert Wilkinson, editor of the online poetry magazine, The Passionate Transitory (thepassionatetransitory.yolasite.com), now brings out the first collection of his own work, Raining Quinces. It contains over eighty poems in all, and is divided into three parts: Camino (poems inspired by his wanderings on the French and Spanish pilgrim routes to Santiago), Lightness Of Being (light verse and humorous poems) and Blue Fruit (poems on love, life, nature, landscape, art and family relationships). Linking all these three sections is the implicit or explicit notion of spiritual quest. The poet is seeking quasi-religious truths within himself, within others and within the world, and this existential and metaphysical journey takes him into many different material, mental and emotional regions, which he traverses with humour, philosophy and, often, with subtle and deep feeling. The poetic styles and forms employed vary from the sonnet, the haiku, the limerick and the rhyming couplet to free verse and affectionate parody. The book is dedicated to 'Camino pilgrims everywhere'.
Orientalism, Aramaic, and Kabbalah in the Catholic Reformation
Focusing upon the extraordinary circumstances of the production of the editio princeps of the Syriac New Testament in 1555 and establishing a reliable history of that edition, this book offers a new account of the origin of Syriac studies in Europe and a fresh evaluation of Catholic Orientalism in the sixteenth century. The reception of Syriac into the West is shown to have been characterised, under the influence of Egidio da Viterbo and Postel, by a Christian Kabbalistic world-view which also determined the reception of other Oriental languages. The companion volume The Kabbalistic Scholars of the Antwerp Polyglot Bible exhibits the continuing influence of Christian Kabbalism on later editions.
A New Look at Mercury Retrograde
Anyone involved in communications can attest to periods of time--lasting about three weeks, three to four times a year--when even the most simple messages seem to be wildly misinterpreted. Also during this time, mechanical and electronic things tend to break down "out of the blue." An astrologer will tell you that this happens when Mercury is retrograde--a phenomenon that almost everyone's heard of but nobody really understands. Robert Wilkinson offers the inside scoop on Mercury retrograde, teaching you how to play it to your own advantage. He also offers ways to value Mercury retrograde people, projects, and situations to make the best of Mercury retrograde energies.For astrologers, Wilkin...
