  • Sabbatai Zevi

    David J HalperinBOOKSabbatai Zevi2007

    Sabbatai Zevi (1626-76) stirred up the Jewish world of the mid-seventeenth century by claiming to be the messiah, then stunned it by suddenly converting to Islam. His story, and that of the movement he created, is a landmark event in early modern Jewish history and a dramatic example of what can happen when mystic dreams and messianic hopes combine in an explosive mixture. Now, for the first time, English readers can experience these events throu…

  • Scholastic Magic

    David J Halperin, Michael D SwartzARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1999

    In exploring the social background of early Jewish mysticism, Scholastic tells the story of how imagination and magic were made to serve memory and scolasticism. In the visionary literature that circulated between the fifth and ninth centuries, there are strange tales of ancient rabbis conjuring the angel known as Sar-Torah, the Prince of the Torah. This angel endowed the rabbis themselves with spectacular memory and skill in learning, and then t…

  • Ascension or invasion

    David J HalperinARTICLEReligion1988References: 20

    Tile early Jewish myth of the heavenly ascension of a divinely approved hero (e.g. Moses) has, as its shadow, the myth of the heavenly invasion of a rebel against the dMnity (e.g. Isaiah's Lucifer). In this paper, I demonstrate that the 'ascension myth' and the 'Lucifer myth' are positive and negative variants of the same story. I explore the possibility that this story may reflect the social world of its narrators. However, I find the ultimate s…

    Open AccessDavid J HalperinARTICLEChurch History1981Cited by: 1References: 8

    The issue of Origen's relations with contemporary Judaism has attracted considerable attention, particularly in the past decade. There seems to be little question that Origen produced the bulk of his extensive exegetical work during the years he lived, taught, and preached in the Palestinian coastal city of Caesarea, from about 232 to his death between 251 and 255, and that Caesarea was a major intellectual center of rabbinic Judaism at that time…
