Martin Luther, Kabbalah, and Jewish Magic
Martin Luther concerned himself with Kabbalah at two points during his long career as a theologian. From 1513 to 1519, he first considered and then rejected Kabbalah as a kind of spiritual ‘ladder’ that allowed believers a fuller experience of the otherwise ‘hidden’ God.

Christian Hebraism in the Reformation Era (1500-1660): Authors, Books, and the Transmission of Jewish Learning

Christian Hebraism in the Reformation era (1500-1660): Authors, books, and the transmission of Jewish learning
The Reformation transformed Christian Hebraism from the pursuit of a few into an academic discipline. This book explains that transformation by focusing on how authors, printers, booksellers, and censors created a public discussion of Hebrew and Jewish texts
Lutheran Christian Hebraism in the time of Solomon Glassius (1593–1656)
Lutheran Hebrew scholarship in the era of Orthodoxy has suffered the same kind of scholarly neglect as theology from this period. A few Hebraists such as Wilhelm Schickard or Wolfgang Ratke have been the subjects of monographs or collections of articles, while others receive mention in university histories or books related to Jewish-Christian relations in early modern Germany. Only within the past decade have scholars addressed this facet of Refo…

The Reformers and the Jews (essays on Luther, Me…
