Continuum announces a new series of classic works of mysticism with
representative texts from all the major world religions:
Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
A mix of familiar texts with proven sales potential and less
familiar works with untapped readerships will introduce the
committed of all faiths to key contemplative texts from outside
their traditions. Each volume will be bound with lavish, full-color
covers, and illustrated throughout.
The Book of Concealed Mystery is a book of the key text of the
Kabbalah, a work known as the Zohar ("Splendour"). The Zohar is a
commentary on the Torah and although it is sometimes ascribed to a
second-century rabbi, Simon Bar-Yochai, the form in which it is
most widely known originates with Moses of Leon, a native of
Granada, who died in 1305.
The kabbalists believe that the undefinable origin of all things
is Ein Sof -- the cause of causes, the infinite, that which
underlies everything. The universe emanates from the divine in
successive layers called esefiroti. Everything exists in God, but
God extends infinitely beyond existence. All we know and are is
linked together, pervaded and maintained by the divine. According
to The Book of Concealed Mystery, the light of God must be
concealed in order to be revealed to creation. Even though the
kabbalists believe that ultimately Ein Sof is beyond expression or
understanding, the contemplation of God's presence in all things
causes our thoughts to be purified
